The Blog
Covert Channel is a technical blog focused on applied security research, internet-scale measurement, and system behavior at the edges. The goal is to move beyond vendor narratives and abstract theory to look at how technology actually functions in the wild. The content here emphasizes empirical findings, original tooling, and first-principles analysis.
This isn’t a tutorial site or a product pitch, and it is written for a technical audience. It documents applied research through field notes, along with deeper documentation for select original tools.
Me
I am a US-based security engineer with over fifteen years of experience in information security. My work focuses on combining system design with adversarial analysis. Earlier in my career, I worked primarily in defensive and architectural roles, managing enterprise infrastructure, deploying security products and controls, and architecting security-sensitive environments. At present I work as a red team operator within a large enterprise.
