I built this for the person I used to be

I used to feel lonely because nobody
around me wanted to learn this stuff.

Not because they were stupid. They just
didn't care. And I couldn't understand
that. How could you not care about this?

I was the only one in the room who
thought this was the most interesting
thing in the world. I was embarrassed
to tell people what I was into because
I didn't know how to explain it and
honestly I didn't think they'd get it.

So I taught myself. Alone. At 2am.
Finding websites that felt like a door
opening. Like holy shit — where has
this been my entire life.

That feeling is what I'm building toward.

belt.intel is dark web and threat
intelligence monitoring for people
who are still figuring it out.

Not for enterprise SOC teams.
Not for $50k/year contract buyers.

For the person who just passed
Security+ and doesn't know where
to look next.

For the bug bounty hunter on their
first few programs.

For the homelab defender who wants
to feel connected to the real
threat landscape.

For the person who googled
"ripped udemy security course"
at some point. No judgment.
I did too.

Here's what you'll find here every day:

Real threat intel. Plain language.
What happened, who did it, why it
matters, and how to go look at it
yourself.

Not a wall of CVE numbers.
Not enterprise analyst speak.
Just signal. Explained like you're
a person and not a ticket number.

I also built the machine that runs
this feed. Sub-agents scraping
Telegram channels, ransomware blogs,
paste sites, CVE feeds. Normalizing
everything into a database. Flagging
high signal for my review.

I'm going to show you how that works
too. Because the tool is the story.
And the story is the point.

And if you ever want to tell me
where has this been my whole life —

that's the whole reason I built it.
