Hi there πŸ‘‹πŸΌ

I'm Malware Researcher focused on reverse engineering, malware evolution, and detection-oriented research.

My work centers on understanding how real-world malware is designed, how it evolves over time, and why specific implementation choices are made. Through reverse engineering and comparative analysis, I study malware behavior, evasion techniques, and their implications for detection, threat intelligence, and defensive engineering.

Research Focus

  • Reverse engineering of Windows malware (ransomware, RATs, droppers, and related malware families)
  • Comparative analysis of malware evolution, implementation choices, and behavioral patterns
  • Static and dynamic malware analysis
  • Unpacking, deobfuscation, and anti-analysis research
  • Detection engineering with YARA, Sigma, IOC extraction, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping
  • Research tooling and workflow automation in C/C++ and Python
  • Currently expanding into Android malware research

Selected Research

BlackCat (ALPHV) Research

Longitudinal technical research covering BlackCat ransomware (2021–2023).

The project analyzes behavioral evolution, cryptographic implementation, operational changes, and implementation differences across multiple Windows, Linux, and PowerShell samples, together with their implications for detection and defensive engineering.
