Fady Moheb Security Researcher.

International joker who is occasionally heroic behind the keyboard.

Breaking in, then writing it down.

I'm a security researcher. I spend my working hours inside networks that would rather I weren't: simulating the adversaries a company is actually likely to meet, taking apart Active Directory, and getting payloads past controls built to stop exactly that.

Everything I learn gets written down. Raw notes land in the vault the moment I find something. Finished research and lab writeups go to the blog. The work worth putting in front of the wider Arab security scene goes to Red Team Recipes.

Attack, defend, and know what's coming.

  • red

    Red teaming

    Adversary simulation end to end: initial access, Active Directory abuse, evasion against EDR and application control, and a report that shows the exact path in.

  • blue

    Blue teaming

    Turning what worked on the offensive side into detections that hold: telemetry, hunting queries, hardening guidance and purple-team exercises with defenders.

  • intel

    Threat intel

    Tracking real actors and their tradecraft, mapping techniques to ATT&CK, and feeding that back into engagements and detections so both sides stay current.

    From BioTime To System

    During an internal assessment, I discovered a web application called BioTime within the target infrastructure. Preliminary research uncovered multiple known vulnerabilities, specifically those listed in 2023 on CVE Details for ZKTeco, including directory traversal and limited write capabilities. Notably, a path traversal vulnerability in the iclock API of ZKTeco BioTime v8.5.5 allowed me to read arbitrary files by supplying a crafted payload.
