About Me

Hello! I’m Ahmad.

For over five years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the world of cybersecurity, specializing in advanced malware analysis, reverse engineering, and incident response. This blog is where I aim to share insights and experiences from the front lines of combating digital threats.

My primary role is as a Technical Lead in Malware Analysis and Incident Response at the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA). Within the National Cyber Incident Response Centre (NCIRC), I lead the comprehensive, end-to-end handling of malware incidents. This involves a meticulous process: from the critical initial triage and deep-dive static/dynamic analysis of malicious software to the intricate art of reverse engineering complex threats to understand their core functionalities and impact. A key part of my work is translating these technical findings into actionable threat intelligence, detailed reports, and strategic escalations. I’m also heavily involved in developing automated analysis pipelines and standardized procedures to enhance our response capabilities and efficiency in dissecting new and evolving malware.

Why this blog?

My goal with this blog is to:

  • Delve into the technical nuances of malware analysis and reverse engineering cases
  • Share practical incident response strategies and lessons learned.
  • Discuss tools, techniques, and automation approaches that can aid fellow cybersecurity professionals.
  • Chronicle interesting challenges and my ongoing journey in the world of cybersecurity defense.

I’m always eager to learn and connect with others in this field.
