I’m Mo’men Mahmoud (aka Moe), a cybersecurity professional specializing in threat hunting and adversary emulation. My ultimate goal is to make a meaningful difference in the world through cybersecurity, so I’m always seeking new ways to learn and teach people and organizations how to understand, fight, and ultimately win against modern adversaries.
I didn’t start with a formal background in cybersecurity. In fact, my journey began in electronics and communications engineering—where I earned my bachelor’s degree—before I gradually transitioned into cybersecurity. Over the years, I’ve come to believe that knowledge and experience are most valuable when shared. That’s why I document my learning process here—to help others achieve (and perhaps even surpass) the same level of contributions to the field.
Beyond security, I love running, studying psychology, and reading—especially when it comes to self-improvement, career development, leadership, management, and business.
BlackHat MEA Trainer (2024): I had the privilege of delivering threat hunting training at BlackHat in Riyadh, teaching participants practical methodologies and tools to combat sophisticated cyber threats and nation-state actors.
Designing Real-World APT Scenarios: I designed and executed an end-to-end emulation of APT29, a project that took two months of diligent planning, configuration, and execution. Also, I wrote a detailed analysis report on what would happen in a real investigation of this scenario. This experience deepened my understanding of APT29's TTPs and how to defend against them. You can find the report at: "Investigating APT29 Exploiting TeamCity CVE-2024-27198".
