About

After receiving a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science from university in 2012, I’ve been working as “full stack” backend software engineer based in SW-Germany. For several years, my main professional focus has been on projects involving Linux-based hardware appliances for caching, filtering, and various threat mitigation purposes. Amongst others, these topics often related to networking or web server/proxy security, availability, and performance.

In 2019, I took the opportunity to join a university-close “cybersecurity” startup – further emphasizing on my interests in this particular field. Since then, my profession has consisted of leading engineering roles for UEBA anomaly detection and OSINT vulnerability scanning.

Projects on hackitu.de

Hackitude is basically a collection of fun coding projects I’ve created over the years and open-sourced for everyone’s reference. Unfortunately, I must not publicly address any of those topics directly connected to my current employment by publishing code, patches, scripts, or articles in a utilizable manner due to legal restrictions. This is why most code available here is not always up-to-date. However, despite sticking to the lesser elaborated programming here, I hope you’ll find some usable information nevertheless. Please note that most code is in an exploratory style and should thus not be considered ready for production environments. Also, it does not live up to my nowaday’s standards on documentation and testing.

In case you want to keep up with the sheer amount of new posts being published here, there is an RSS feed. For distraction-free or dark mode reading, most articles should be well compatible with for example Chrome Reader Mode or Firefox Reader View.

hackitu.de & Privacy

Hackitude proudly runs without requiring cookies, JavaScript, external CDN resources, semi-related stock or AI pictures, overly bloated and thus often insecure publishing frameworks, or any other server-side databases or scripts. While these tools can be appreciated in general, a minimalist from-scratch approach seemed better suited in this context – it’s essentially just an automated export of some local git repository README files with handmade layout after all.
