It has been many months since my last post, but the past two years have been filled with stories, friends, communities, CTFs, and events.
Hmm, where to begin…
I’ve had the opportunity to speak at various local and international OSINT and cyber intelligence events. Some of the highlights include:
- IntelCon 2021: Cyber Intelligence Conference in Spanish
Talk: Cyberintelligence — This Is How Threat Hunting Works in Real Life (Basic Level)
Watch on YouTube - IntelCon 2023: Cloud OSINT
Here, I presented different tools, methodologies, and tips for tackling cloud environments in our OSINT processes. I also discussed the impact of poorly stored information in the cloud, addressing the misconception that being in the cloud automatically ensures security.
Watch on YouTube
Additionally, in April 2023, I had the chance to conduct a workshop at BSides Colombia 2023, where participants could combine the taught techniques, tactics, and procedures, and apply them in a CTF.
We wrapped up the event with an amazing farewell party, featuring music by @int0x80.
I was also fortunate to give a talk at the SANS OSINT Summit 2023 titled Lessons Learned From Using OSINT to Track Cybercrime in LATAM.

Around the same time, I delivered a workshop at one of the world’s top threat intelligence events. Due to confidentiality, I can’t disclose which event it was, but I do recall it took place in a beautiful city with a magnificent old clock 😉
Moreover, in 2023, I was fortunate enough to join @hacktoria, where I’ve met some amazing people skilled in OSINT and GEOINT. This platform has allowed me to sharpen my skills at any time and also participate in realistic CTF missions to earn some very cool badges.
Finally, this year, I returned to BSides Colombia as a speaker, discussing the landscape of Web3 in terms of threat hunting, pentesting, and OSINT.
What’s Next?
I’m not entirely sure what the future holds, but I’m excited about everything that has happened so far — especially the friends and connections I’ve made along the way. I’m certain they will contribute valuable content for anyone who stumbles upon this blog.
