“Independent cybersecurity commentary. No fluff. No spin. Just signal.”

So, you want to write for Fabricati Diem? Excellent. We’re always on the lookout for sharp minds, sharper keyboards, and the kind of cybersecurity insight that doesn’t read like it was generated by a toaster with a Wi-Fi card.

What We’re Looking For #

Before you fire up your favorite text editor and start waxing poetic about packet captures and privilege escalation, here’s what you need to know:

  • Length: Between 1,000 and 2,000 words. Enough to say something meaningful, but not so much that readers need a snack halfway through.
  • Authors: We welcome actual cybersecurity professionals. If your idea of research is asking an LLM to write your homework, this probably isn’t the place for you. We want experience, insight, and the kind of hard-earned wisdom that only comes from being on the front lines — or at least from having been burned by a misconfigured firewall once or twice.
  • Topics: Anything that helps the community think better, act smarter, or laugh harder. Deep dives, postmortems, threat analysis, rants (well-structured ones), and thoughtful critiques of industry trends are all fair game.
  • Tone: Think Terry Pratchett meets RFC 3514. Witty, insightful, and just irreverent enough to make the suits nervous.

What We’re Not Looking For #

  • SEO fluff.
  • Thinly veiled product pitches.
  • AI-generated filler with the intellectual depth of a puddle.
  • Anything that would make a compliance officer break out in hives — or worse, remind us of the daily deluge of SEO-optimized orangutans pitching CBD gummies and offshore casinos as “cybersecurity thought leadership.” Yes, it happens. Yes, it’s as tragic as it sounds. No, we’re not interested.

How to Submit #

To pitch your piece, send an email to our Editor-in-Chief — contact details are available on the contact page. If it’s a good fit, we’ll get back to you faster than a misconfigured MariaDB interface gets indexed by Shodan.

We’re not here to gatekeep, but we do have standards. If your piece is thoughtful, well-researched, and written by a human who knows what they’re talking about, we’d love to feature it. So go ahead — make the day. Fabricate it, even.
