About Me

Greetings,

My name is Gareth Rouse, I’m a information security professional. I was raised in Silicon Valley and for the last 16 years have lived and worked in the United Kingdom.

My aim is to create a space that accurately reflects my knowledge, ideas and personality – a site that I can share with others instead of a Twitter or Instagram handle.

What I Do

  • Analytics
  • Write-ups of security tools
  • Cloud security guides
  • Security automation guides
  • Documenting my home labbing experience

Projects

  • Grouse-Dictation - A voice-to-text tool I develop, and use every day even to write this sentence.
  • Sifter - A domain/IP fast-lookup tool written in Go – provides stylised terminal outputs for at a glance analysis.

Reading

A daily constant in my life that I consider invaluable – reading. I believe that knowledge is compounding, and even though you will not remember every book you’ve read or every idea you’ve encountered, exposing yourself to these perspectives – for reasons beyond me, lead you to be a well-rounded individual.
