Smukx, a malware researcher, red teamer, and offensive security engineer known for his work on low-level malware development and adversary simulation tooling, has been suspended on X.
The flagged post was a thread on how keyloggers work at the OS level: keystroke architecture, how system processes handle key events, the kind of material taught in any offensive security course and published openly in defensive research. It got caught under X's "illegal and regulated behaviors" rule and the account (@5mukx) is now gone.
This stuff is standard security research. You can't defend against techniques nobody is allowed to explain.
If anyone here has a working contact at X Trust & Safety or knows the fastest route to get a suspension like this reviewed by a human, please reach out.
@intigriti In 2016, When I was 18 years old, In my own institute's website. I was also able to get shell access only using SQLI. I reported them but they didn't patch it for 5 years.
The one thing I like about cyber security people is they act in good faith without having any personal interest, direct or indirect.
They provide knowledge and resources without expecting any personal gain. We should really appreciate these people for their work.

Our #Pwn2Own 2021 exploit and a new attack surface about the reparse point memory corruption EoP bug were disclosed in our #BlackHat Europe talk "From Logic to Memory: Winning the Solitaire in Reparse Points". Thanks to @tiraniddo's great previous work :) https://t.co/bfUb25EfcI
