About Us

Two offensive security experts based in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Self-Taught, Practitioner-Led

We learned hacking through curiosity and passion, then refined it through real-world work. That hands-on background shapes how we test, communicate, and deliver.

Two Decades of Experience

Together we bring over 20 years of offensive security experience, mostly in consultancy roles, across hundreds of assignments in diverse environments.

Our Story

We are two offensive security experts based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. We started as self-taught hackers driven by curiosity, long before it was a career path. That mindset still defines how we approach engagements: pragmatic, evidence-driven, and focused on what actually works in real environments.

Over the past two decades we have worked across Fox-IT/NCC Group, ABN AMRO, and Northwave Cyber Security. Most of that time has been spent in consultancy roles, delivering hundreds of assignments across a wide range of industries, tech stacks, and security maturity levels.

That breadth of experience means we have seen what helps teams improve and what creates noise. We have worked across financial services, energy and infrastructure, aviation, healthcare, technology, web3, telecommunications, and entertainment, with engagements executed in multiple European countries. We focus on practical offensive security testing that maps realistic attack paths, produces actionable findings, and supports teams with clear remediation guidance. Our goal is simple: help customers make meaningful, measurable security improvements.
