INTRO

Hello! I’m Kelvin Kariba, Pseudo, ~mystik. I work as a cybersecurity researcher at CYBERRANGES

A few details about me:

I’m self-taught and it’s in Cybersecurity, that I found the life-fulfilling, never-ending unquenchable fire. ;)
I mainly focus on digital forensics, malware analysis/Reverse-engineering, Threat analysis, and Monitoring & Detection.
I play CTFs with the international team Fr334aks
I like to tinker with hardware sometimes, repair/modify stuff mostly.
My background is in biochemistry and molecular biology.
Sci-fi movies give me the ‘endless possibilities’ vibe.
Interestingly, I read, research, and enjoy astrophysics stuff.

Here are my current capabilities in Cyber:

Tier 3 SOC monitoring and detection
- Writing detection rules(Yara,sigma,splunk)
- Proactively responding to cyber threats at a high complexity level.
- Deployment of SIEMs.
- Advanced intrusion detection
Threat-Hunting and Assessment
- Proactively carrying out Threat-hunting exercises.
- Carrying out threat assessments on internal applications and systems
- Research and analysis of the threat landscape to identify active threats.
- Scanning and recording vulnerabilities affecting systems, while advising the patch team based on risk factors.
Malware Analysis
- Analysis of Malware artifacts and samples and providing detailed reports on their inner-workings.
- Phishing analysis.
- Basic Python and PowerShell scripting skills.
Digital Forensics
- Acquisition and Forensics on Memory dumps, filesystems, and various memory types
- Analysis of PCAP data using Wireshark, Zeek, Arkime.
- Post-incident Collection techniques.
- Digital Media forensics (pdf,docs,jpg,png,mp3, etc)
- OSINT
Offensive security - For personal curiosity and endeavors, I’ve honed my skills in offensive security, mastering several techniques from initial access to complete compromise stages.

My goal is to make this blog a trove of information that will educate my readers. Thanks for visiting my blog!. Enjoy! :)
