About

Just call me Kamil. “alternat0r” is my nickname.

I work in the field of computer security. I'm generally a quiet person and prefer to speak when there's something worth discussing. My daily work and personal interests revolve around penetration testing, reverse engineering, malware analysis, security research, and research & development.

I have experience with C/C++, the Visual Basic family, .NET, PHP, binary reverse engineering, and network penetration testing, with a particular focus on malware analysis and reverse engineering.

This security blog is a collection of my personal notes, programming projects, code snippets, technical analysis, investigations, research, and other interesting things I discover along the way.

Data0.Net History

Data0.Net has gradually evolved from a website dedicated to software development into a personal technical and security blog.

One of my earliest projects was Portable Antivirus, which I started developing during the widespread virus and worm outbreaks affecting Southeast Asia around 2003–2004. Development has progressed slowly over the years, mainly due to limited time. A newer version was eventually rewritten from scratch using VB.NET 2012, with more advanced features and improved stability. If development is completed, I will announce it here.

There are also various tools and software projects that I plan to release through this website in the future, potentially including their source code.

I have maintained Data0.Net since the domain was first registered on 5 September 2006. However, the website has actually existed on the Internet since around 2004, when it was hosted through Netfirms and cjb.net.

I don't spend most of my time maintaining this website. It is primarily a personal project that I update whenever I have some spare time.
