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.

Today, I wrote a tool called sym32guid which aims at retrieving all stored Program DataBase (*.PDB File) GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) from a physical memory dump. To do why? The first goal was to use use symbols as additional information regarding unexported functions like the über-famous msv1_0!MsvpPasswordValidate, but it looks it can also be used to detect Virus and Trojan… The target machine is a Windows Vista SP1 32bits, I’ve installed last week inside a Virtual Machine and I’ve extracted the physical memory dump from the windows hibernation file through SandMan Framework.

X-Ways Forensics Beta 2 and hibernation file. (coincidence?)

X-Ways (WinHex editor) Forensics Beta 2 now includes hibernation file(hiberfil.sys) support for Windows XP 32-bit only. Please notice, Sandman library/framework is an open-source project under GNU General Public License v3 to read and write the hibernation file released 2 months ago… Posted on Friday, Mar 28, 2008 – 1:05: Ability to decompress Windows XP 32-bit hiberfil.sys files, whether active or inactive, to get a dump of physical memory with all in-use pages from a previous point of time when the computer entered into hibernation, as well as individually carved xpress chunks from hiberfil.sys files, including xpress chunks located in the “slack” of hiberfil.sys that are even older. This feature is available in Edit | Convert. (forensic license only) Source (PS: I’m not beta-tester)
