About

👋 Hi, I’m Daniel Hoffman, people knows me as Z. I’m a passionate hacker and Security Researcher in the process of becoming a cybersecurity specialist. My mission is to protect digital assets through advanced Red Teaming techniques, exploit development and deep vulnerability analysis.

What motivates me?

I’ve always been fascinated by technical challenges that involve thinking like an attacker in order to defend better. My main focus is in areas such as:

  • Red Teaming : Simulating real attacks to identify weaknesses before the bad guys do.

  • Exploit Development : Understanding code-level vulnerabilities and creating innovative solutions.

  • Malware Analysis and Reverse Engineering : Unravel the inner workings of malicious software to mitigate threats.

  • Penetration Testing : Evaluate web, mobile and infrastructure applications to ensure their security.

In addition, I have a strong background in Machine Learning and Data Science, which allows me to approach complex problems from multiple perspectives.

My Journey

I started in my youth by learning about Operating Systems, Virtualization and Networking. I quickly became interested in cybersecurity and began exploring various topics, including:

  • Operating Systems: Understanding the inner workings of systems like Linux and Windows.
  • Networking: Learning about protocols, firewalls, and network security.
  • Programming: Gaining proficiency in languages like Python, C, and Assembly.
  • Malware Analysis: Delving into the world of malicious software and reverse engineering.
  • Red Teaming: Simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities.
  • Exploit Development: Creating and analyzing exploits to understand vulnerabilities.

When I was in the college, I started to investigate and learn about the world of cybersecurity and Machine Learning. I think the fact that the core of my degree was computer science with subjects like Artificial Intelligence and Data Science had an influence on that.

Current Focus

At the moment, I am:

  • 🛠️ Improving my skills in red teaming and exploit development .
  • 💻 Creating tools to facilitate penetration testing and security analysis.
  • 🌐 Exploring the latest trends in AI, cloud and Web3 security.
  • 🤝 Contributing to open source projects and education related to cybersecurity.
