We don't read bytes.
We measure the physics of evasion.

Independent research at the intersection of adversarial machine learning, non-Euclidean deep learning, and encrypted network defense. Operating from Kuching, Sarawak. Building toward thermodynamic, payload-independent perimeter security.

AEGIS: Adversarial Entropy-Guided Immune System

Thermodynamic State Space Models for Zero-Day Network Evasion Detection

As TLS 1.3 limits the effectiveness of traditional Deep Packet Inspection, content-reading classifiers like ET-BERT remain structurally vulnerable to byte-level adversarial morphing. We introduce a Thermodynamic Variance-Guided Hyperbolic Liquid State Space Model (TVD-HL-SSM) that discards payload bytes entirely in favor of 6-dimensional continuous-time flow physics. By projecting temporal features into a non-Euclidean Poincaré manifold and measuring sequence-wide Shannon entropy, AEGIS detects adversarial tunneling without ever reading what's inside the packet.

Beyond the Grid

Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in Legacy Fossil Fuel Infrastructure and the Case for Sustainable Transition

A grounded analysis of the security debt accumulating across legacy energy infrastructure: aging SCADA systems, unsegmented OT networks, and the structural incentives that have kept critical systems exposed for decades. Argues that the cybersecurity case for accelerating the energy transition is materially stronger than its economic case alone — and lays out the threat landscape with citations rather than vendor-naming.

Digital Divide Within the Campus

Network Infrastructure Failures and Their Impact on Academic Continuity in Malaysian Public Universities

A field-grounded examination of how chronic network infrastructure failures across Malaysian public universities erode academic continuity, research productivity, and student outcomes. Documents the everyday cost of unreliable campus connectivity — from interrupted coursework to stalled research pipelines — and argues that institutional digital infrastructure should be treated as core academic infrastructure, not as a peripheral utility. A grounded case for policy attention from someone writing it from inside the problem.
