About Bytebuilders

We are a small, independent research collective focused on building resilient systems and studying real-world adversarial behavior.

Our work spans offensive and defensive security research, infrastructure hardening, and threat observation. We operate sensor networks to monitor internet background noise, analyze attack patterns, and document our findings.

The research published here is intended for security professionals, system administrators, and anyone interested in understanding how adversaries operate in modern networks.

Legal Boundaries

All research is conducted within legal frameworks. We do not engage in unauthorized access or testing of systems we do not own or have explicit permission to analyze.

Responsible Disclosure

Vulnerabilities discovered are reported through proper channels. We work with vendors and maintainers before public disclosure.

Privacy First

We do not collect, store, or process personal data. Our observation methods are passive and focused on aggregate patterns.
