My nickname is TekCookie and I am a mathematician and security analyst from germany. I love to understand complex things taking the way down the rabbit hole. On this blog I will, whenever time permits, post on topics like
- Malware Analysis using static code analysis, i.e., reverse engineering
- Identity related topics like Active Directory, and EntraID
- Topics targeting cloud environments from home-hosted kubernetes to AWS and Azure
- Whatever I am motivated to write on. :-)
My story
I started my career with theoretical mathematic at university. After completing my bachelor and master degree I decided to make Phd. Live proved me that mathematics is a solid foundation to continue with, however without an application it is hard to get a job. Hence, I made the move to the exiting field of cyber security. Fisrst in a very theoretical role as a lecture on cyber security studies program. Later, I decoded to get some hands-on expierence. After completing the Offensive Security PEN-200 course, the SANS FOR 504, FOR 508 and FOR 610, i now found my compfort zone in the daily work in the field of cyber security. During my day to day job, I keep up to date on current topics, keep learning, and implementing detection rules, as well as working on the alerts they produce.
My Blog
So, this is just another blog on cyber security with infrequent posts, right? - Right! It is. There are many good resources on the internet to learn cyber security and this blog targets just to make a little contribution to this community. There is no sake for completness or correctness in neither way, however I will give my best to make this blog a hopefully useful resource.
