A new beginning

Hi everyone,

This short post is just to clarify the purpose of this blog.
 
Since the end of 2001, I have been actively researching and writing tutorials about Reverse Engineering. It just started as a hobby which turned into a pathway to conduct extensive research on Digital Forensics for an important Spanish agency. To be more precise, I worked on decoding several proprietary data storage formats to develop software applications for the recovery of erased data contained on mobile phones, which substantially helped to extract incriminating evidence from forensic copies.

Due to those tutorials, which I used to publish, I was contacted by the aforesaid agency and my career in Mobile Phone Forensics began. The important takeaway message is that your presence in the cyber world matters and can open doors. However, the constant lack of time has essentially prevented me from bringing my work to the cyber community over the last years. Although, as a security consultant, I actively continue reversing software under simulated attacks for those companies that look forward to hardening their applications, writing detailed and step-by-step tutorials is a time-consuming task that unfortunately I cannot much longer pursue.

So well, in order to maintain my presence and let people know about my work, I decided instead to put hands on a blog focused on generally discussing digital forensic and security-related issues/topics, which in theory should be less demanding. Thus, this blog brings attention to a wide range of disciplines rather than just Reverse Engineering. I hope you enjoy it and become a recurrent visitor.
