Taming Rust With C - Cracking Caido Cli

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 20:34:55 +0530

Caido-cli is a proxy like BurpSuite, but written in Rust - but your dear borrow checker won’t stop a well-aimed linkerscript. Let’s make it free (as in freedom) again with C.

Rooting Android Without Magisk or Kernelsu

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:28:38 +0530

For the special one-off situations when you can’t use magisk or kernelsu, or if you really don’t want to use existing root solutions, you can get root with a backdoor’d kernel image.

Hacking on the Jiophone - From getting a rootshell to running Doom

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 23:01:53 +0530

A few days ago, I found an old Jiophone. At first, it appeared to be a simple, locked down KaiOS device. But after a day of tinkering around with it, I found myself running doom on it.

My story of migrating from docker containers to a more hacky bwrap + nix based jail for isolated, low-friction, reproducible security research environments.

Patching ELFs with ~Assembly~ C, or abusing the linker for fun and profit

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:41:11 +0530

Using a little bit of linkerscript magic and C to patch binaries the toolchain-intended way - instead of manually patching assembly instructions like a madman.

Reversing ARM Firmware

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 19:26:37 +0530

Reversing a raw firmware dump is very different from reversing an ELF executable or a PE image. There are no sections, no symbols, and often no clear format - just raw bytes.

In this post, I’ll walk through the process of reversing a simple ARM Cortex-M3 (ARMv7-M) firmware image using Ghidra, mapping memory regions, identifying initialization routines, and making sense of global variables.

Out of the blue, after my SIH victory, i decided to give web development and cybersecurity a little break and decided to write a chip8 emulator. This is one project that i have always been wanting to do for quite a long time, but never got free enough to do it.

Javascript Is Not The Answer
