The Roots
Where it all started — 2007 to 2013
The following timeline represents historical research and community writing from the early years of my career. Techniques described in that era may be deprecated on modern systems. This archive exists to show long-term commitment to the field and the evolution of cyber threats — not as current operational guidance.
Independent security research and technical writing began in 2007, during the formative years of Iran’s security blogging community. Across 2007–2013 I published notes and articles on Windows internals, network security, and early penetration-testing practice on my personal blog (kst.blogfa) — building the foundation for later Exploit-DB papers, bug bounty work, and MLSecOps research.
Cybersecurity journey · 2007–2013
2007
First publications
Started independent security research and public technical writing on the personal tech-blog.
2009
Community writing continues
Continued hands-on notes and articles as threats and tooling shifted beyond the first wave of public security blogging.
2010
Deepening practice
Expanded coverage across network and host-oriented security topics while building long-form research habits.
2012
Dense publication year
Multiple technical notes across the year — Windows-oriented research and practical security write-ups for the community.
2013
Closing the early era
Further articles through late 2013, marking the end of this early blogging / notes phase before later Exploit-DB and international publications.

From those roots, the work moved into Exploit-DB papers, Microsoft MSRC recognition, teaching, security tooling, and the MLSecOps Practical Reference Guide — with the focus today on modern AI-era security engineering.
