Matt Suiche
Cybersecurity Researcher
Hello! My name is Matt Suiche. I am an independent researcher, advisor, and investor. I previously served as the Head of Detection Engineering at Magnet Forensics. Our organization was passionately dedicated to justice and protecting the innocent, a mission we embarked on more intensely after the 2022 acquisition of my cybersecurity start-up, Comae Technologies.
My professional journey began as the Chief Scientist and Co-Founder at CloudVolumes which was acquired by VMware (NASDAQ:VMW) in 2014, before founding Comae. In addition, I’m proud to have initiated the cybersecurity community project, OPCDE.
My life-long fascination with learning and understanding complex systems first led me to cybersecurity. My teenage years were spent immersed in reverse engineering, which ignited a profound curiosity about technology that continues to this day. I’ve since explored various fields including operating systems architecture, programming languages, virtualization, modern web application development, and generative art. Furthermore, I’ve delved into numerous domains such as privacy, surveillance, forensics, blockchain, and community development among others.

Key Takeaways 🔗 A lot of the information shared by social media companies is still incomplete or missing. Further transparency on processes and data is required to increase visibility and awareness of campaigns. Elections have been a key focus of CIB campaigns. CIBs are also currently used in conflict-affected & politically vulnerable countries (e.g. Northern & Eastern Africa), although under-reported by media outlets. The data collected on Facebook’s CIBs is available on GitHub.
A while back, I discussed how memory could be used as an ultimate form of the log as long as the analysis workflow and process is smooth.
This blog post will start by explaining the blind spots created by event-driven detection solutions such as Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), and how this can be balanced by using Comae DumpIt + Stardust as part of an incident response & compromise assessment strategy.
Going beyond log files, accepting memory as its own format. 🔗Logging is a common practice for IT and Security purposes. Mature organizations tend to have extensive and in-depth logging capabilities using either commercial or free solutions.
Although, logging is a powerful way to troubleshoot and investigate events it’s often limited by the initial input format of the logs during the collection process.
As the complexity of attacks increase, it’s almost natural for defensive capabilities to also evolve — particularly in the logging capabilities area.
