About cookiengineer

I'm sort of a Cyber Defense Engineer with a strong Purpleteam background. I just love CTF days and unit testing. My projects have involved co-evolutionary AI concepts to automate the generation and adaption of code and network protocols, as well as fuzzing and exploiting binaries reproducibly. Meanwhile I'm also building my own agentic environment for all sorts of things.

For the last years I've been building a (co-evolutionary) AI-driven startup in the form of the https://tholian.network

The open source projects I've built in the past can be found on:

- https://github.com/cookiengineer (same account on gitlab)

- https://cookie.engineer

Fun fact: All my comments have been written on the toilet. I don't use social media anywhere else.

I only use reddit, HN, and LinkedIn. All other accounts are probably fake, because I don't like the toxicity that social media embraces as you might've guessed already.

PS: If you want to contact me, check my personal website's Contact Me page.

Have a great day, stranger!

    FBI has no jurisdiction over Russia. And Russia doesn't give a damn, as they literally gave APT28/29 the mandate to do this, the only exception being that no former Sovjet territor…
