Hi! I’m Alpha.
I am completing my M.Sc. in computer engineering whilst working in security research.
I like binary exploitation, program analysis, logic, compilers, emulation and reverse engineering. Even to my surprise, I managed to get interested enough in various forms of physical exerices to make them a part of my daily life. I do a lot of other stuff in the little free time I have.
I occasionally write about things I’m learning on my
blog.
If you’d like to buy me tea (sorry, I don’t drink coffe)
you can drop a donation.
I’m phasing out my usage of Twitter so feel free to reach me out at @imshxdow:matrix.org or @shxdow@treehouse.systems.
