Matt Suiche
Hacker · Founder of OnDB
Hello! My name is Matt Suiche. I am the founder of OnDB Inc., a data infrastructure startup for the agentic economy. I recently discussed cyberwar in the age of AI, Iran’s cyber capabilities, and how AI is reshaping hacking on Bloomberg’s Odd Lots and the National Security Lab podcast.
Previously, I co-founded CloudVolumes (acquired by VMware in 2014) and Comae Technologies (acquired by Magnet Forensics in 2022), where I later served as Head of Detection Engineering. I also founded the cybersecurity community project OPCDE.
My path into technology started in reverse engineering as a teenager, and has since spanned memory forensics, operating systems, virtualization, blockchain, and now AI infrastructure.
Latest
Magnet Forensics, a developer of digital investigation solutions for more than 4,000 enterprises and public safety organizations in over 100 countries, announced the acquisition of the strategic IP assets of Comae Technologies.
As part of the acquisition, Comae founder Matt Suiche will lead a memory analysis and incident response research and development team at Magnet Forensics, where he will further develop a memory analysis platform and integrate the technology into the company’s existing solutions. Suiche’s team at Comae will also work closely with Magnet Forensics going forward.
The recent SolarWind’s hack which resulted in a backdoor version of their SolarWind Orion product which counts 33,000 customers has been all over the news in the past few weeks - most things have been said and repeated, although there are few notes that I mentioned on Twitter which I would like to compile in a blogpost for perenniality.
First of all, I would like to point out to the presence in the backdoor process blacklist (the full list can be found on Itay Cohen’s repository) of several processes that can be used for either:

While we didn’t find any issues worth reporting, we thought it would be a waste not to share what we’ve learned. Hopefully, this will be useful for others wanting to research the platform or those considering to use it for their projects.
