Meet Hana Omori
I survived 2+ years of nation-state cyberattacks. Now I protect small teams who can't afford enterprise security.
Who Am I?
I'm Hana Omori, a cybersecurity researcher and incident responder who discovered my calling through lived experience — not theory.
What started as defending my own devices from persistent, sophisticated attacks evolved into building open-source security tools, conducting forensic investigations, and documenting real-world threat patterns that traditional security frameworks miss.
I don't just study cybersecurity. I've survived it, analyzed it, and built defenses against it.
2025 By The Numbers
All statistics from documented forensic analysis conducted throughout 2025.
How Did I Get Here?
The Pivot (2023–2024)
After 15 years as a technical SEO expert working with enterprise clients at Seer Interactive, Power Digital Marketing, and Webstacks, I experienced something that changed everything: a coordinated, multi-device compromise that persisted across factory resets, survived password changes, and exploited legitimate OAuth infrastructure.
Traditional security tools didn't detect it. Antivirus didn't flag it. The attack used valid credentials, legitimate apps, and trusted infrastructure — making it invisible to conventional defenses.
So I learned to see it myself.
From Victim to Researcher
I taught myself network traffic analysis (Wireshark, PCAP analysis), mobile forensics (Android/iOS), behavioral threat detection, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and cross-device attack correlation.
I captured 5,416 network connections over 6 hours, identified a 711KB data exfiltration through Firebase Cloud Messaging, and documented the entire attack chain with forensic precision — across 16 factory resets that failed to remove the compromise.
That case study became the foundation of my work.
Building Real Solutions
Instead of waiting for the security industry to catch up, I built tools:
All open-source. All built from real incidents.
What I Do Now
Incident Response & Forensic Analysis
- Real-world case studies documenting APT-level attacks
- Cross-device exploitation analysis
- OAuth abuse and legitimate credential attacks
- Carrier-level compromise investigation
Security Tool Development
- Open-source defensive tools for threats traditional security misses
- Hardware-software hybrid solutions
- Privacy-first, user-controlled security
- macOS-native tools for Apple ecosystem teams
Technical Writing & Education
- MITRE ATT&CK-mapped case studies
- Cybersecurity guides for real people (not just enterprises)
- Behavioral threat analysis documentation
- Device-specific defense checklists
Small Team Security Consulting
- Full-team encryption deployment (Chaos Lock)
- Network monitoring setup (StealthShark, Adaptive Firewall)
- Security audits for 3–10 person teams
- Ongoing protection and incident response
Awards & Recognition
Education: Emory University, Goizueta Business School — B.B.A. Information Systems & Operational Management (2013)
The Mission
Enterprise-grade security shouldn't require an enterprise budget. I build free, open-source tools and provide hands-on consulting so small teams can protect their data, their clients, and their reputation.
Every tool I build, every guide I publish, and every team I help secure is one less easy target for the attackers I've spent two years studying firsthand.
