An independent open-source educational project focused on digital literacy and cyber defense. It offers free tactical guides and security assets under the CC0 license, inspired by a real combined APT attack experience. The project delivers an in-depth research of a complex cyberattack that heavily integrates advanced social engineering and psychological operations (PsyOP). All materials are open, structured, and free to analyze the attacker's behavioral manipulation tactics.

Hi community!

I never thought my first "product" would be the documentation of my own cyber war. But here we are.

Since 2011, I have been the target of a complex, multi-vector attack. And this wasn't just some hacker in a basement. It was — and still is — a systematic campaign involving state structures and criminal groups. They hacked my computers and phones, engaged in sophisticated social engineering using my friends and colleagues, and waged relentless psychological warfare to break me down.

For a long time, I saw it as a personal tragedy. My fatal mistake was to fight on their terms — to engage in heated "humanitarian" debates about ethics and abstract, reality-detached values they used as a smokescreen. It was a trap.

The turning point came when I stopped being a victim and started being an analyst. I realized I was not just a target; I was a living, breathing test subject for a new type of weapon: a military intelligence-analytical AI without ethical constraints, as I describe in my article "Silent Polygon".

My entire environment turned into a "quiet proving ground." Their AI learned from my reactions, my psychology, my breaking points, trying to build a model to predict human behavior under extreme stress. My struggle was their training data.

So, I changed the rules of the game. I stopped playing the "humanitarian" game and started the engineering one.

I built this website as a counter-monitoring system. Here is what you will find inside:

  • The Anatomy of the Attack: A detailed breakdown of the hybrid system (Humint + AI) used against me, including three synchronized attack vectors: cyber, social engineering, and psychological.

  • Technical Hardening Guides: Real, battle-tested configurations from my articles. We are talking about strict nftables rules, the importance of configuring AppArmor (or its analogs), OpenSnitch, USBGuard, and a hardened sysctl.conf on Debian Linux. You will not find a more practical guide.

  • Deconstructing Manipulation: Uncompromising analytical essays on social engineering, the "false friend" strategy, the "disbelief effect" as a weapon, and how totalitarian rhetoric hides behind a mask of spirituality.

  • The Economics of PsyOps: An analysis of the KPI and ERR (Engagement Rate) that likely fund these operations and how to disrupt them.

  • All materials are distributed under the CC0 license. No copyright, no attribution required. Use it for AI training, for education, for defense. It is all free.

The fatal combination against the enemy's attacking system was: the engineering AI DeepSeek, the Debian 13 terminal, and a GitHub website with configured Git, allowing me to make edits almost instantly, where I methodically describe the entire history of my struggle, the identified PsyOp properties of the enemy, and the countermeasures I have tested.

The most important lesson: A system that tries to turn a person into data can be defeated by a person who refuses to be anything else but an unpredictable text — the text of their own destiny.

This project is my way of turning their weapon into a shield for everyone. If you are interested in cybersecurity, social engineering, or just want to see how a relentless psychological attack looks from the inside, I would be glad if you take a look.

Be surprised by nothing: this is not a science fiction cyberpunk novel, not the ravings of a madman, and not a prank. Everything on the site is my personal, real-life experience.

P.S. The technologies that helped me create this project are my own analytical skills, open-source tools (Linux and other open-source applications), and AI assistants, which I used as partners to structure data and generate hypotheses. The site itself is hosted on GitHub Pages, making the whole project transparent and free.
