Design a safe, isolated environment for exploit testing with virtualization concepts and network isolation techniques that protect both your systems and the broader internet from accidental damage.
I'm Ethan Marshall 👋
I hack things that go beep, boop and occasionally say access denied — until they don't.
My Digital Playground:
- EXPLOIT DEV 💥 Crafting working exploits
- EXPLOIT PRIMITIVES ⚙️ Exploitation building blocks
- REVERSING 🧩 Decoding program internals
- BINARY ANALYSIS 🔬 Assembly-level code analysis
- MALWARE 🦠 Malicious code dissection
- CTF 🎮 Hacking competitions & writeups
Come along as I document my journey through the fascinating world of bytes, bugs, and binaries!

A personal reflection on balancing two technical worlds—postal equipment maintenance and cybersecurity research. This post explores my non-traditional career path, the surprising transferable skills between mechanical troubleshooting and security work, and how impostor syndrome affects career transitioners. Includes practical advice for others navigating similar paths.
