Founder · Network & Log Security

Builder and breaker by heart. Two decades helping defenders see what's happening on their systems.

OSSEC Sucuri GoDaddy CleanBrowsing Trunc NOC.org

Daniel started OSSEC in 2003 because the commercial log analysis tools at the time were too noisy and too expensive. That project — an open-source host-based IDS — still runs across tens of thousands of environments today and was acquired by Trend Micro in 2008.

He co-founded Sucuri with Tony in 2010 and led engineering through the acquisition by GoDaddy in 2017. Along the way he designed and built the Sucuri and GoDaddy anycast CDNs — globally distributed networks moving billions of requests a day.

After GoDaddy, Daniel went back to what he loves most: building things. That's CleanBrowsing (anycast DNS filtering), NOC.org (CDN/WAF), Trunc (log analysis SIEM), and a few smaller projects.

At netsec-ops, Daniel leads engagements around network architecture (especially anycast builds), log analysis and SIEM design, and forensics. If your problem is "design a global edge network" or "figure out how this server got compromised" — you're working with Daniel and the team.
