A “blueteamer” perspective on the science and engineering of technology or anything dealing with actuating current or electromagnetic frequencies respectively.
Welcome to Xybercraft ™
In a world increasingly shaped by technology, the distinction between reality and digital landscape becomes ever more elusive everyday.
…The increasing (very clever) integration of technology into everyone’s daily life blurs the lines between reality and digital experiences, we receive new updates that combine entertainment and the malicious shadows of unknown lines of code. Critics express concerns that advancements like deepfakes and social media algorithms create "filter bubbles," distorting our perception of shared reality, yet we continue to find fascination with how smooth our scrolling experience is or how snappy load times are. This phenomenon, termed "digital dualism," suggests a false separation between the digital and physical worlds, as both are now interwoven so cleverly and meer evil as each year we become oblivious to how harmful these electronics really are—for instance to our eyes and our short and long term memory. As we and even our pets navigate this artificial reality, our interactions and identities become influenced by both realms, leading to a complex interplay that challenges traditional notions of existence for both our flesh and digital twin… —Judah Estrada | Unplublished Book © 2011

What to expect from Xybercraft publication
Articles: publications are usually about upcoming trends or new information on older news; scientific theory’s, product reviews, privacy concerns, potential “how-to’s”, or my favorite, declassified leaks.
Podcasts: In the next year or so, every month I plan to release a podcast about the most recent exploits and provisional IT news from my standpoint and expertise on the recent attack vectors, technological theories and interviews with individuals who have unique technology, intelligence or engineering stories.
What is “blueteaming”?
No I’m not a cop, it’s not the kind of blueteam lol, in the Cybersecurity field there are Red and Blue teams, Blueteamers help to aware users of security or privacy concerns. Blueteaming refers to the defensive aspect of cybersecurity operations, where specialized teams focus on safeguarding an organization’s digital assets against a myriad of cyber threats. This involves a multifaceted approach that integrates various methodologies and technologies to enhance security posture or hygiene.
“In God we trust, all others we monitor.” —Intercept opr., motto
Key responsibilities of blueteaming is an essential discipline within cybersecurity that focuses on defending against cyber threats through proactive monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response, and user education. By employing advanced technologies and methodologies, blueteams play a pivotal role in fortifying an organization’s defenses against an ever-evolving threat landscape.

Judah@Substack:~$ whoamiJudah@Substack:~$ I am an ardent Computer Engineering professional with over two decades of extensive experience encompassing both software development and hardware engineering.
For more than fifteen years, I have been actively involved in rigorous research and practical applications within technology-centric domains, particularly in information security (infosec) and network architecture. My journey into this field was catalyzed by a series of formative missteps, which have since informed my commitment to assisting others in safeguarding their digital assets. Through my expertise, I strive to identify and analyze the intricate patterns of technological evolution, thereby contributing to the advancement of nearly all practices in cybersecurity and network resilience.
Who is Judah Estrada?
Technically im just another IT guy; computer nerd; h4x0r. Information security practitioner, somewhat gamer—I love geobiology, learning (of course), longboarding, both healthy and unhealthy food lol; you get the picture, additionally one worth noting is, piloting aka FPV or operating drones, I love them. I have published free photography that has achieved over one million combined views.
In my earlier years, I faced uncertainty regarding my career path, torn between pursuing digital design—such as architecture or video game development—and serving my country. Ultimately, everything in IT is nearly readily available unless it’s proprietary. So I chose to leave college (for now), where I was enrolled in a Bachelor of Science program, to fully engage in the technology sector and distance myself from negative influences. Outside of my professional pursuits, I am dedicated to CrossFit and enjoy reading and studying a diverse array of topics, ranging from ASCII to quantum physics. I also take pleasure in exploring the geographical wonders around me. Writing is another passion of mine, as it enables me to delve deeper into specific subjects and articulate my insights.
I have had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of mobile devices, and those who attended school with me would affirm that I am often regarded as a reliable resource for resolving technical issues, known for my expertise in various technological matters.

More about Judah Estrada
Another significant aspect of my journey began in high school, where I engaged in music engineering as a side endeavor. The unique qualities of sound frequencies profoundly intrigued me, deepening my understanding of electromagnetism and sparking my curiosity about various facets of cybersecurity. Since then, I have developed a passion for all things related to electrons. I aspire to obtain a PhD in the future; however, I am not in a rush, as many fields of study undergo significant changes every decade. I embrace life one book at a time. Designing websites, construction science or digging into plant cultivars. I’ve even had the privilege of working with popular influencers, which I tend not to “brag” about.
I enjoy sharing my theories, exploring new photographic opportunities with my drone or phone, experimenting with different Linux distributions, and living life as any other individual would; wondering how the future will be fused into itself in its time.
My publications are not encouraging any form of competition, such as being the first or the one with a million likes etc., the idea or journaling came about in college rephrasing notes and putting things in my own word. I started hacking (pentesting; more software then hardware), distro-hopping, and building web applications a long time ago. We have watched technology evolve literally in our hands and conglomerates promise us over and over that they will be “more transparent” time after time—and I don’t see it coming to an end anytime soon. InfoSec isn’t slowing down so come dive into the atmosphere of IoE with me while I unravel the complexities and blunders from the past to the future—technological innovations, interplay of cutting-edge advancements and visionary concepts.
From consumer, commercial, military, criminal, academic, science, to law—we will be your non-biased goto, for original thorough “technology” dossier hands down. Who knows how this will go, I may just be hiring in the future, so I’ll keep an eye on potential partners for collaborations or remunerations.
Summary
To think, it all started by modifying the registry editor to tweak my old 1995 desktop with 2 gigs of ram trying to squeeze out every bit of performance. Lastly, for those—my ideas, theories, attributions, opinions, publications, vocabulary, fantasies, judgements, articles, and other forms of related context or input do not reflect my employer, affiliates, sponsors, partners, associates, or colleagues.
