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.

CVE-2025-21043: When DNG Opcodes Become Attack Vectors

Another day, another zero-day. This time it’s CVE-2025-21043, a critical vulnerability in Android’s DNG image parser that’s been actively exploited in the wild. What makes this one particularly interesting is how it leverages an obscure feature of the DNG format—opcode lists—to achieve remote code execution. Following our previous analysis of CVE-2025-43300 and the ELEGANTBOUNCER detection framework, let’s dive into how this vulnerability works and why it matters. The Discovery 🔗On September 2025, Samsung just pushed a critical security update.

The Hidden Math Bug That Makes AI Unpredictable

This tweet from Awni Hannun demonstrates in one line of MLX code the nondeterminism phenomenon detailed in Thinking Machines' research. We will explore the PyTorch equivalent that reveals a fundamental issue in AI systems, because I’ve found that tweet extremely helpful to understand what the original blogpost was about. Here's a one-line code summary in MLX of the @thinkymachines blog post on non-determinism in LLM inference. I'd guess the difference is larger the lower the precision, as you get larger affects from non-associativity of FP math.

Building Agents for Small Language Models: A Deep Dive into Lightweight AI

The landscape of AI agents has been dominated by large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Claude, but a new frontier is opening up: lightweight, open-source, locally-deployable agents that can run on consumer hardware. This post shares internal notes and discoveries from my journey building agents for small language models (SLMs) – models ranging from 270M to 32B parameters that run efficiently on CPUs or modest GPUs. These are lessons learned from hands-on experimentation, debugging, and optimizing inference pipelines.
