About Me

Hello there! I'm 0KeX or you can just call me Kex (she/her) and I'm a cybersecurity student and an enthusiast eager to understand the fundamentals of breaking and securing systems. I'm currently in my second year of university, pursuing my degree in cybersecurity.

Who I Am

The Journey

My fascination with cybersecurity started with a simple question: "How does this actually work?" That curiosity led me down a path of exploration, from understanding basic network protocols to diving deep into exploitation techniques.

I believe the best way to secure a system is to understand how it can be broken. This mindset drives my approach to learning and building.

The Philosophy

Security isn't just about finding vulnerabilities—it's about understanding the entire ecosystem. Every system has its weak points, and discovering them requires patience, creativity, and a willingness to see things differently.

I'm constantly learning, constantly breaking things (in controlled environments), and constantly asking "what if?"

What I Do

Areas of Focus

My work spans multiple domains within cybersecurity, each offering unique challenges and learning opportunities. I approach each area with the same curiosity that got me started in this field.

Offensive Security

  • Web application security testing
  • Network reconnaissance and enumeration
  • Vulnerability analysis and exploitation
  • CTF-based attack simulations

Defensive Security

  • Secure backend and API practices
  • Threat detection and log analysis
  • System and network hardening basics
  • Understanding attack mitigation techniques

Research & Learning

  • Reverse engineering fundamentals
  • Malware analysis and detection
  • Security tool scripting and development
  • CTF competitions and writeups

Core Values

Ethical Practice

All security research and testing is conducted ethically and legally. I believe in responsible disclosure and using knowledge to build, not destroy.

Continuous Learning

The security landscape evolves daily. Staying curious and committed to learning is not optional, it's essential.

Community Contribution

Sharing knowledge through writeups, blogs, and open-source tools helps the entire community grow stronger.

Question Everything

Every system can be improved. Every assumption can be challenged. This mindset drives innovation in security.
