Archiving the past, documenting the present, and predicting the future of technology since 2013.
Hack-Under-Root is a comprehensive technology documentation project and digital archive. It serves as the backbone for the Hack-Under-Root Blog, a platform dedicated to exploring the intricate world of cybersecurity, the elegance of Linux, and the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence.
This repository contains over a decade of research notes, article drafts, and technical deep-dives, bridging the gap between foundational security concepts and modern DevSecOps practices.
Since its inception in 2013, the Hack-Under-Root blog has been a go-to resource for security enthusiasts and developers. It doesn't just report news; it explains the methodology behind the technology.
- URL: http://hackunderroot.blogspot.in/
- Mission: To democratize complex technical knowledge and provide a historical context to the modern tech stack.
- Audience: Ethical Hackers, SysAdmins, DevOps Engineers, and AI Researchers.
The repository is organized into yearly archives, covering a vast spectrum of technologies:
| Category | Key Focus Areas |
|---|---|
| 🔐 Cybersecurity | Ethical Hacking, Pentesting, Zero Trust, Threat Modeling, Ransomware Analysis |
| 🐧 Linux & OS | Kernel Evolution, Arch Linux, Kali Linux, Parrot OS, Immutable OS (NixOS) |
| 🤖 Artificial Intelligence | LLMs (GPT-4/5, Claude, Grok), AI Ethics, Generative AI, Predictive Analytics |
| ☁️ Cloud & DevOps | AWS, Kubernetes, DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, SASE, Infrastructure as Code |
| 🔌 IoT & Networking | Arduino, Raspberry Pi, OpenWrt, RouterOS, eBPF, Software-Defined Networking |
Our archives track the industry's most significant shifts:
- 2013–2015: The Foundations
- Rise of Ethical Hacking as a mainstream profession.
- The birth of Kali Linux and the emergence of critical bugs like Heartbleed.
- 2016–2019: The Cloud & IoT Explosion
- Transition from monolithic architectures to Microservices and Docker.
- Securing the "Internet of Things" with Raspberry Pi and custom firmware.
- 2020–2022: Remote Security & Supply Chains
- Securing the global workforce during the pandemic.
- Deep analysis of the SolarWinds attack and the rise of Ransomware-as-a-Service.
- 2023–2025: The AI Revolution
- The transition from traditional ML to Generative AI (ChatGPT, Sora, Claude 3).
- Integrating AI into defensive security (Kali Purple) and offensive automation.
- 2026 & Beyond: The Future
- Quantum-resistant cryptography, Edge AI, and autonomous DevSecOps.
To maintain a decade-long blog, efficiency is key. This project utilizes automation to streamline the content pipeline:
- Content Management: Leveraging Google Sheets and Airtable as a headless CMS to track article ideas and publication schedules.
- Posting Pipeline: Custom Python scripts (see
New.py) designed to interface with the Blogger API for automated drafting and publishing. - Markdown First: All research begins in Markdown here in this repo, ensuring a portable and version-controlled history of every post.
