Just an alien waiting for an Uber… I mean, the mothership.
Debugging Earth, one bug at a time.
Abdallah Mekky is a code sleuth, bug whisperer and part-time alien stranded on Earth. Somewhere between systems and starlight: cybersecurity, reverse engineering and the odd logic humming beneath the surface.

Four loose threads
Pull one, and the system starts telling a different story.
- THREAD 01
The machine
Linux, networks, HTTP and the agreements that hold systems together.
Follow the thread - THREAD 02
The web
Requests, identities, boundaries and small details that change everything.
Follow the thread - THREAD 03
The boundary
Permission, scope, restraint and the quiet art of responsible disclosure.
Follow the thread - THREAD 04
The signal
Follow behavior back toward the decisions beneath it.

Rules of engagement
Even an alien needs permission to open a door.
Permission before curiosity.
If the boundary is unclear, do not cross it.
Understand the system before reaching for a tool.
Keep experiments small, repeatable and isolated.
Take only the evidence needed; leave private data untouched.
A useful discovery points toward a repair.
