Whoami

My name is Konstantin and I am a hacker¹.

I have been fascinated by computers for as long as I can remember. I studied computer science and was particularly interested in information & communication management and algorithms. In the course of the latter, I visited cryptography lectures, which I found very exciting. This is how my interest in cyber security evolved. Nowadays, I am a pentester and team leader at usd AG.

1. By this, I don't mean that I am particularly talented, skilled or that I am able to pwn things through some incredible exploit chain. For me, hacking is a mindset. It means being driven by curiosity. It means to enjoy fiddling around with something not necessarily useful. It means trying to understand things in detail, to consider the edge cases and sometimes even crossing the edge. ↩
