RtProxy: Automating Reverse Proxy and TLS Without the Usual Complexity

Introduction Reverse proxies sit at the core of modern infrastructure. They terminate TLS, expose internal services, enforce security boundaries, and often become the first control point between users and applications. Despite being a well-understood component, deploying and operating a reverse proxy stack is still more complex than it should be. This article explores RtProxy, a project designed to simplify reverse proxy and TLS lifecycle management by reducing it to a deterministic, CLI-driven workflow, while maintaining full transparency and control. ...

Building an ESP32 Wi-Fi Recon Tool: From Idea to IoT Security Scout

Introduction Most network visibility tools are built for enterprise environments — switches, firewalls, SIEMs. But what happens at the edge? What happens in the air? This project started with a simple question: Can a low-cost device like an ESP32 be used to perform meaningful Wi-Fi reconnaissance and basic security analysis? The answer turned into something much more interesting. The Idea The goal was not to build another Wi-Fi scanner. ...
