👋 Hey, I'm Krypton!

Hey there, I’m Krypton! (Coming from the Krypton element 36 ⚛️) I’m a cloud engineer, developer, security researcher and overall security enthusiast. I like computers (surprised?) and anything related to cyber security, especially information gathering and reverse engineering.

I 💜 open source

Current projects I'm working on

• Project Absence – A security tool for domain reconnaissance with an OSINT-only approach, written in Rust.
• Iphyra - A new project I won't unveil at the moment as I'm not sure how the development will be and how much time I can give to it because it's a side project I work on when I need to take my mind off other things.
• Argane - A Kubernetes security validator for YAML manifests, Helm charts, and running pods, written in Go.
• Aegisbot - A Discord and Twitch bot with advanced pattern-matching auto-moderation, built on concepts inspired by YARA, written in Go.

Notable other projects

• wordlists - Yet another collection of wordlists
• Python-Discord-Bot-Template - A simple template to start to code your own and personalized Discord bot in Python
• spaceflake / spaceflake.rs - A distributed generator to create unique IDs with ease in Go/Rust; inspired by Twitter's Snowflake
• rsmanuf / gomanuf/ pymanuf - A very simple Rust/Go/Python library to get the manufacturer of a specific MAC address

Currently learning

• Hardening/Purple Teaming - After learning a lot of red teaming, I want more to make things more resistant to damages and/or attacks.
• OSINT / Information Gathering - Learning new techniques to gather information about specific things, I love data.
• Rust – Security tooling and some other random TUIs.
• Forensics - Forsencis.. but digital.
