Hello everyone! I am rifteyy.
I have previously seen some of my videos and posts linked here, so some of you may recognize my name, so I think it's time for me to introduce myself! I am an 18 year old IT student and I am a big fan of malware diagnosis/removal and malware analysis.
In the past few years, I have helped about 3K people in total with removing malware from their system and since 2024 I am pretty active on malware/antiviruses related subreddits - r/computerviruses (where I recently joined the mod team) and r/antivirus.
I have my own malware blog where I post my malware analysis reports which are simple to understand and learn from for beginners about various malware. Most notably, one of my analysis reports revealed a whole network of modern TamperedChef variants (some of it's variants like anyPDF and System Utilities reached the most popular mirror websites such as MajorGeeks, Softpedia) which had over several thousands of downloads. The discovery ultimately lead to revokation of a few digital certificates, shutdown of 4 websites and plenty of vendor malware signatures being created
I record YouTube videos about some basic malware analysis, I also did a few amateur-level antivirus tests and recorded them but ultimately I figured out that malware itself is my biggest hobby so I am slowly shifting back to malware analysis.
I am here to share my ideas, opinions and learn something new from similar-minded people. MalwareTips always looked like a friendly and welcoming community, so I am glad to be here!
