Think Tank & Operations

Secure the unseen.
Defend the known.

deadmansec advances the frontiers of encryption, steganography, and blue-team defence. We research, build, and operate so you stay ahead of the threat.

Who we are

A lean, veteran team of cryptographers, reverse engineers, and defensive operators united by a single mission — make security practical and impenetrable.

deadmansec was founded by neuroretransmit, a private security researcher whose deep focus lies in bootkit and rootkit analysis, along with novel encryption and compression algorithms powered by cellular automata. His work pushes the boundaries of what's possible at the firmware-kernel boundary and in computational cryptography.

Our work spans embedded-systems encryption, covert-channel analysis, steganographic data-hiding, SIEM engineering, threat hunting, and red-team emulation — always with an operator's mindset and a researcher's rigour.

What we do

Deep specialisation across three interlocking disciplines. Every engagement is backed by original research and production-grade delivery.

Encryption

Custom cryptographic protocol design, implementation audit, and key-management architecture. We work with symmetric, asymmetric, and post-quantum primitives.

  • Protocol design & review (TLS, Noise, Signal)
  • Post-quantum migration planning
  • HSM & secure-enclave integration
  • FIPS 140-3 / CC readiness

Steganography

Covert-channel analysis, digital-watermarking, and data-hiding detection. Both offensive deep-dives and defensive hardening against stego-based exfiltration.

  • Steganalysis & detection tooling
  • Media watermarking (image, audio, video)
  • Network covert-channel assessment
  • Anti-forensic data-hiding research

Blue Teaming

Proactive defence, detection engineering, and incident-response augmentation. We build the systems and processes that stop attacks before they become headlines.

  • Detection-engineering & SIEM tuning
  • Threat-hunting operations
  • Incident-response retainers
  • Purple-team exercise design
