Steve Nelson is a security professional specializing in penetration testing, red team operations, and open-source intelligence. Former military — Vermont Army National Guard, Infantry. The discipline and mission-focused mindset from service translate directly into how he approaches security: methodical, thorough, relentless.

What I Do

Penetration testing. Red team operations. OSINT. Reverse engineering and malware analysis. I simulate real-world adversaries to identify weaknesses before actual threat actors do — and when I find their tools, I take them apart.

Background

I grew up in Massachusetts. I served in the Infantry. I found security because I was good at finding things that weren’t supposed to be found.

This site is where I write about offensive security, OSINT, and reverse engineering. No fluff. No marketing. The work speaks for itself.
