I'm Cookie Engineer, and this is me:

🛡️ I'm somewhat a Cyber Security Analyst or Engineer with a specialization in netsec and infosec.

🚀 These days I'm working on the Tholian Network which aims to create a peer-to-peer self-adapting Cyber Defense Network that preserves cryptographic anonymity while enhancing integrity, truth and transparency auf Audits, Incidents and Mitigations in order to tackle lots of today's IT security-related problems.

💻 My previous work focussed on Blueteam/Purpleteam work, by defending network infrastructures and by making large-scale computation systems more secure (e.g. ISO 27001, ISO 27033 or IEC 62443, ISO 21434, ISO 26262, UN Regulations No 155/156 and NIS2).

🧮 I taught myself programming when I was a child. My love for the 6502 continues, but I learned to set aside my personal preferences about programming languages over the years. I've realized that humans are bad at programming, and more restrictions in (opinionated) programming languages usually lead to higher code quality in the face of code fuzzing or automated exploit code generation.

❤️ I've done a lot of work in C/C++, node.js, HTML5/CSS3, WebGL and naturally also in a lot of shader languages due to my passion for game jams. These days I prefer Go wherever possible, though, due to its strong build ecosystem and some amazing pure golang libraries that allow more efficient redteaming.

🤖 I love to work with co-evolutionary backpropagated ES/HyperNEAT, Hypernetworks and Compositional Game Theory based systems to build automated Cyber Defense systems.

😯 I'm a 4chan (/g/, /pol/, /q/, kiwifarms) discreditation target of 2021, so you'll find lots of lies about me on the Web, including news websites that apparently never verify their sources before publishing clickbaity stories.

🌈 I believe in Human Rights. The Tholian Network Charter is my attempt of creating guidelines for a cooperative future that embraces the potential of a mutually helping and understanding society.

Live long and prosper. 🖖
