The Next Level: Memory Address Analysis In my previous article, we explored how DLL sequence analysis can detect process injection attempts. But what if we could go deeper? What if we could analyze not just which DLLs are loaded, but where in memory they’re being accessed? This is where terminal ntdll.dll memory offset analysis comes in. […]

The Problem: Why Call Stack Analysis Matters In the world of endpoint detection, we’re constantly chasing the next big thing. But sometimes, the most powerful detection capabilities are hiding in plain sight. Take Sysmon Event ID 10 (Process Access) — it’s not just about which process accessed what. The real gold is in the CallTrace […]

In this article we talk about using Call Stacks to detect malware at a deeper level and further our understanding of malware behaviour. The reason we take this approach is to work beyond just detecting behaviour on the basis of which programs are triggered or actions are performed; but also working to determine which functions […]

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, attackers are constantly innovating to bypass endpoint defenses. One such sophisticated method involves tampering with process creation notifications at the kernel level, leveraging Windows’ internal APIs. In particular, the `PsSetCreateProcessNotifyRoutine` function has become a tool of choice for advanced attackers aiming to disable Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) systems. […]

Cybersecurity is an ever expanding field where more domains keep getting added as we progress with technology. These domains try to address very specific problems that may arise, for example Container Security or Application Security seek to address issues with Containers and Applications (Web/Android/iOS etc.) respectively. It is however important to remember that all of […]

I arrive at the office, make a cup of coffee and sit down to browse the latest Cybersecurity news. I have a daily brief to cover for the company where I talk about whatever is the most important, alarming or interesting news for the day. While browsing I see the mention of APT41 once again, […]

Today, in the digital world, cyber-attacks are no longer a matter of “if”, “but” “when”. Attacks happen every minute, from phishing to sophisticated ransomware campaigns. It is no longer sufficient to only respond to breaches. Cybersecurity professionals must understand “how” and “why” an attack occurs. This is where the “Cyber Kill Chain” comes into play—a […]

As a Cybersecurity Analyst, staying ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape is a non-negotiable part of the job. But in a fast-paced environment, manually looking through multiple sources for the latest cybersecurity news can be inefficient and unsustainable. That’s what sparked the idea for the “Threat Intel Automation” project—an initiative to automate the entire process […]

This is Part 2 of the “The Art of Digital Deception” series, where theory meets chaos. In this post, we go beyond the build. The honeypot was live—open to the world like digital flypaper—and within hours, it began drawing in curious crawlers, brute-force bots, and opportunistic threat actors from across the globe. From SSH brute-forcing […]

This is a two-part blog series where I share my journey of turning a Windows machine into a publicly exposed honeypot designed to lure, log, and learn from real-world attackers. 🧠 Whether you’re a red teamer, defender, or just cyber-curious—this series offers a close-up look at the reality of life on the edge of the […]

In the previous article we covered the topic of Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) and our subsequent efforts to detect the same using the Shannon Entropy formula by using the randomness of the characters in the domain itself to detect a suspected malicious domain. In this blog we move onto another security evil which seems to […]

It’s June 16, 2025 – today, we’re launching Bloo, a cybersecurity company born from a simple but frustrating truth: Despite decades of investment in tools, platforms, and MDR services, threat detection still fails when it matters most. The Gap We See Security teams don’t struggle because they lack alerts. They struggle because they lack assurance. […]

Bloo is inspired by the defenders. The name draws from Blue Teams, those who stand guard over infrastructure, data, and people. But it also nods to Blue Ocean Strategy: a belief that the best way forward isn’t to fight in saturated markets, but to build new paths through deep innovation and clarity of purpose. And […]

One of the earliest realizations I had while working in cybersecurity is how easy it is to get trapped in the loop of ticking off tasks — closing support tickets, finishing extractor builds, or deploying detection rules. For a long time, that’s how I measured productivity: the more tasks completed, the better the team’s performance. […]

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) has become a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity, offering organizations a lifeline in the face of increasingly sophisticated attacks. However, the effectiveness of any MDR service hinges on the quality of its detections. Too often, organizations find themselves reliant on MDR providers that utilize unproven or poorly validated detections, leaving them […]

When I first got involved in detection engineering, I saw it the way most practitioners do — writing correlation rules, refining signatures, and responding to alerts. The job felt structured, almost mechanical at times. But over the years, as I spent more time analyzing real-world threats and observing how attackers operate, a persistent thought kept […]

When I first started working closely with threat intelligence, I realized how often it sits in organizations as a passive function — subscriptions to feeds, lists of indicators, and reports that get read but rarely acted upon. It felt more like a checkbox exercise than something driving real value. Over time, though, my perspective evolved. […]

In today’s world, Managed Detection and Response (MDR) has become essential for strong cybersecurity, giving organizations a way to defend themselves against increasingly complex attacks. However, the truth is that an MDR service is only as good as its detections. All too often, organizations find themselves depending on MDR providers that use unproven or poorly […]

As someone who has been navigating the cybersecurity landscape for quite some time, I’ve seen the evolution of threat detection and response firsthand. From the days of basic antivirus programs to today’s sophisticated Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solutions, it’s clear that artificial intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role […]

There are a few moments in your professional journey that truly shake your perspective — moments that force you to pause, rethink, and rewire your approach.
