Preface

Last month, I released OpenPetya on GitHub. It became my first open-source project to reach more than 200 stars.

After that, I shared some of my ongoing work on a rewritten version of Alien, a multi-platform webshell management tool. SHortly afterward, I also reached 200+ GitHub followers.

Just like when I reached 100+ GitHub Follower, I would like to celebrate this milestone.

And, as a bonus, today is my birthday, so…

First, let me demonstrate how to eat a cake with my face:

Waaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

What Now?

I would also like to share some of my recent activities.

If you frequently browse my blog (…do you?), you may have noticed that I have not been publishing articles as frequently as before.

What!? You think that I ran out all my ideas and passion? No!

So, what happened?

The answer is simple: I have been spending most of my time learning new things.

There are simply too many topics to explore: bootkits, UEFI, shellcode, implants, vulnerability exploitation, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Japanese, Korean, and English.

Recently, I have also been working on Alien, a webshell management tool (and technically a remote access tool as well). The project is currently being rewritten because the previous versions suffered from several design issues.

At the same time, I have been working on OpenPetya 2.0. One of my current goals is to extend the original implementation to support UEFI systems and modern versions of Windows.

Why Learn So Many Stuffs?

As I mentioned in my 100+ GitHub Follower article, I did not achieve particularly impressive grades during university.

That is one of the main reasons why I constantly push myself to learn new skills and improve my technical abilities.

I genuinely enjoy learning.

Cybersecurity, programming, operating systems, low-level development, and even foreign languages are all fascinating subjects to me.

I also believe that learning across different fields helps me write better articles and explain technical concepts more clearly.

Conclusion!

Learning so many things at the same time is not easy.

However, I believe the effort is worthwhile.

Hopefully, the next few months will go smoothly, and I will be able to continue sharing more interesting projects, research, and articles with everyone.

Thank you to everyone who has followed my work, starred my projects, or read my articles.

See you in the next post!
