About Me
Hi, I’m Adriano a passionate cybersecurity professional based in Verona, Italy, specializing in EDR/XDR platforms and threat hunting. With hands-on experience securing enterprise environments using tools like CrowdStrike Falcon, Sentinel One EDR, and Qualys, I’ve deployed defenses, led incident response, and hunted threats across complex infrastructures. By night, I tinker with Raspberry Pi home labs, tackle challenges on TryHackMe and Hack The Box, and contribute to open-source projects like TLDR Pages.
I am most skilled in: CrowdStrike Falcon and Threat Hunting but also have experience with: Sentinel One EDR, Qualys Vulnerability Management, SIEM Solutions and Incident Response.
Projects
sshman revolutionizes secure SSH management—encrypted vaults make key handling effortless for homelabs and enterprises.
sshman is my open-source CLI tool for managing SSH keys and connections with encrypted .vssh vaults, key generation, and direct SSH support—perfect for threat hunters juggling multiple endpoints. Born from real-world SecOps needs, it streamlines secure access in homelabs (Raspberry Pi clusters) and production (CrowdStrike/Sophos fleets). With 5 releases and growing stars, it’s a portfolio highlight showcasing my bash scripting and crypto skills.
TLDR Pages is cybersecurity documentation gold—60k+ stars prove it's the CLI reference everyone needs.
As Organization Manager for TLDR Pages (60,000+ GitHub stars), I manage repo access, review contributions, and maintain simplified command-line docs for tools used in Linux, Windows and other OSes . If you need concise CLI mastery, TLDR Pages (with my contributions) delivers.
