About

I'm Ruben, a security researcher passionate about all aspects of Linux security. With a background as a SOC Analyst and Penetration Tester, I’m now a Security Research Engineer at Elastic, where I focus on Linux security research and detection engineering, including behavior-, signature-, and ML-based detection. My experience spans network and application pentests, vulnerability assessments, and social engineering attacks. I also contributed to blue team efforts, helping to build and maintain a security operations center and serving as a security analyst and incident responder within the Elastic SIEM platform.

I developed this website to give some of my cyber security and hacking knowledge back to the community, as public blogs and websites have played a huge role in my personal development. I hope one of my posts will be able to help someone in the same way others have helped and still are helping me :)

Recently I started maintaining some of my projects in my GitHub repository. So far there's not that much interesting content on there, but eventually I am sure there will be. If you want to take a look at it, you can find my GitHub repositories here.

I case you want to reach out to me for any reason whatsoever, you can always contact me at my LinkedIn.
