Mikael
Nurminen.
Security researcher. Builder by nature.
I take systems apart to understand them — then build something better. Cryptography, reverse engineering and open-source projects, from Finland to the world.

01 /SELECTED WORK
Built with curiosity.
02 /BEHIND THE HANDLE
Understand the system.
Challenge the assumptions.
The interesting part is rarely on the surface. I follow the details: how a cipher fails, what a binary is doing, and how to keep software useful long after its original servers disappear.
A little more about meCryptography & CTFs
Hands-on problems. Careful reasoning. Competing with THEM?!.
Systems & open source
Native tools, operating-system experiments and software built in public.
Reverse engineering & preservation
Understanding software so games and overlooked media are not lost.
NEXT CONNECTION
Something worth building?
An interesting security problem, an open-source idea, or a game worth preserving. Let's talk.
