I built my own AI News Pipeline (and why?..."readily made" apps weren't enough for me:(
I have seen many apps that claim to deliver customized news, but most of them are hidden systems where you can't control the logic, or they get the facts wrong..i wanted a system that acted as a high level content curator, so I built a custom ETL pipeline to solve this for myself
Here is what you won't find in most AI news apps:
-Parallel Data Architecture: this prevents AI hallucinations by splitting the data stream. the LLM handles the creative rewrite, while the original URLs are preserved in a separate path.
- Local LLM: by running the intelligence layer locally, i eliminated API costs,privacy concerns and third-party subscriptions.
- Smart Ranking & Filtering: delivering only the top 6 highest value stories
As a result,i no longer wake up to a mess of notifications...i just get a professional and summarized briefing of exactly what I need to know

Cloudflare Zero-day: Accessing Any Host Globally
Discover how a Cloudflare WAF bypass in /.well-known/acme-challenge/ exposed origins, its impact, and the fix. A must-read for security pros.
https://fearsoff.org/research/cloudflare-acme
so i was Just reading about logic bug in Cloudflare's ACME validation Found by Fearsoff .
when Cloudflare handles SSL cert challenges (/.well-known/acme-challenge/*), it turns off WAF so CAs can validate without interference but the old logic sometimes disabled WAF even for invalid tokens, letting malicious requests slip through to origin. smooth bypass path.
i also saw that Cloudflare posted about it Cloudflare blog
they patched it quick and they said that no evidence of exploitation so far,
( nah i dont believe that tho 🙄)

aight guys
one step forward always ✨
today i took the CRTA exam and passed uk it was a bit tricky at some point but i handled it 💪
through this cert i learned:
• Red Teaming
• Pentesting
• MITRE ATT&CK
• Web & Network Attacks
• Enterprise Tech
• Windows Security
• Adversary Simulation
• Red Team Methodologies
but look you gotta have a researcher mindset. you gotta explore beyond the course and the syslabs.
tbh i subscribed to this for the sake of infra, yk… for pivot and stuff like that.
anyway let's celebrate small wins here 🎉
thanks that you guys are here all the time.
like i said always one step forward

the moment you find your passion, your goal, your path… life starts to feel lighter
Not because it’s easy but because it finally makes sense
People might look at you and say “Damn man , you’re doing too much”
But you don’t even feel the weight.
You’re already immersed.
You enjoy the struggle, every single part of it.
Others won’t always understand your vision they might call you a dreamer, delusional, unrealistic, but inside? You feel nothing but gratitude,You just keep thanking God for letting you see what they can’t yet 🙏
So keep pushing
Keep grinding
Don’t hold back
and nah, I’m not saying this because I’m some big successful person and u know am not
I’m saying it because I see it in myself, in my own life, that’s all
don’t get bored of me tho :)
love y’all ❤️

I just build APTsearch a red-team–oriented search engine for APT groups & MITRE ATT&CK TTPs kinda MITRE ATT&CK lite lool :)
thanks to antigravity ofc 😅
MITRE is powerful… but let’s be real, it’s also confusing
APTsearch flips it into attacker logic.
🔍 Search APT groups
🧠 Explore their real-world TTPs
🤖 AI-assisted explanations (why attackers use a technique, how it fits the kill chain)
🧱 No backend static, hosted, clean
🔄 Data auto-refreshed every month
i will add kinda IOC soon like detection and mitigation thingy
so i built this as a red team / blue team / learning tool and as a portfolio-grade project
Would love feedback from yall
website :> APTsearch
