Nikos Oikonomou (abaddon)

I’m a Software Dev turned PenTester and The Creator of this fine web portal.

About me

I always considered coding easy and fun, I later found out that breaking stuff was way more exciting. That should be reason enough for anyone with a CS background to get into PenTesting. That, and the fact that you get to be called a “hacker”.

Fields of expertise

  • Linux (I use Arch btw)
  • PenTesting
  • Binary Exploitation
  • Scripting (need a quicker way to do something? spend 5 hours coding only to save 5 seconds…each time )

Interests

  • Chess
  • Music (don’t know how anyone can live without it)
  • Books (Classics, Sci-Fi, Fantasy)
  • Running

State of mind

I’m just playing my best move.”
