I'm Back and Introducing Forgebound Research | The Rebrand

I'm Back and Introducing Forgebound Research | The Rebrand

Author: Cipherceval January 12, 2026 Duration: 8:53

Exploit Brokers is back—under a new banner.

In this episode, I explain why the show went quiet, what Forgebound Research means, and how the podcast is evolving. We're shifting to a hybrid model: some episodes will be news commentary with technical insight, others will be lab-driven deep dives where I actually pull apart the malware or the vulnerable code.

Beyond the podcast, I'm launching The Forgebound Lab on YouTube—security research, hardware teardowns, creative engineering, maker builds, and learning in public.

Same host. Same mission. New chapter.

Welcome to Forgebound Research.
