About
Who am I?
My name is Marcos although I’m best known as h3xduck on the Internet. I am a Computer Science and Engineering graduate, now studying a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity (graduating this year).
On the short term I am planning to pursue a PhD in Cybersecurity abroad (I am still evaluating different programs, please get in contact in case you would like to talk) but until I finish my current studies I am trying to get into the security world by:
- Studying books and reading online materials related to security.
Some of the latest books I’ve been studying are “Practical Malware Analysis” by Michael Sikorski and Andrew Honig, and “The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense” by Peter Szor.
- Developing projects related with security. This allowed me to get a fair amount of skill on low-level programming. You can find some of them on my Github.
My latest project in development is a novel eBPF rootkit for Linux during my Bachelor’s thesis. Currently working on a new independent project about metamorphic malware.
- Doing CTFs online at websites such as OverTheWire, HackTheBox… Although I’m still quite amateur at this moment, I am always looking for a new challenge and learning something new.
- Now working as a Security Researcher at the security research group of UC3M university.
- Planning to assist this year to cybersecurity meetings at my university and conferences at Spain. Also looking for people with which to share my interests, please contact me at any of my social media if you would like to talk about anything. (I also talk Spanish).
What is this page?
The purpose of this page is to write about the things I am doing and in general just talk about whatever topic has me interested at the moment - independently on whether it is security or just CS related. I love learning but I also enjoy sharing knowledge with others, so I may be posting some tutorials here too.
I expect the quality of the posts to grow with time, but if you find that some of the contents on this site are not accurate or you would like to share some feedback with me, please feel free to do it - you are more than welcome.
