I’m Ian Marrero. I work in cybersecurity as an engineer, mostly around detection, incident response, and insider threat systems. My day-to-day work sits between security operations and engineering-building, maintaining, and troubleshooting the systems that collect telemetry, generate alerts, and support investigations. I hold an M.S. in Cybersecurity Technology.

This site is a collection of things I’ve worked on or want to come back to later. That includes lab setups, Hack The Box walkthroughs, notes from incidents and investigations, tools and software I’m building, and links to webpages and resources I’ve found useful enough to keep. Some posts are detailed, some are rough, and some exist only because future-me will forget why something mattered.

I also use this space to track ongoing projects and share work that might be useful to others-whether that’s detection ideas, configuration notes, or small utilities that solve a specific problem. It’s documentation of what I’ve tested, what broke, and what I learned in the process.

Occasionally, this site reflects community contributions-things I’ve shared, supported, or built alongside others. If something here helps someone avoid a mistake or save time, that’s enough reason for it to exist.
