About
Behind
TheOtherCompany.
TheOtherCompany is Flavien Ruffel.
When you work with the company, you work with me, from the first conversation to the retest — no middleman.
Background
Around six years in cybersecurity, including an expert role within an IT services company. There I covered a broad scope: penetration testing and audits, SIEM monitoring, forensics, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, tool development and internal training.
Alongside this, I teach cybersecurity in higher education and work with companies.
I have published several CVEs (including a critical SQL injection, a privilege escalation in GLPI and a subscriber identifier leak) and I maintain open-source projects recognised in hardware security.

Under the handle 7h30th3r0n3, I publish my research, my tools and my write-ups. It’s my researcher identity, fully owned: the same work, under another name, the community’s. You’ll find this work on GitHub and on my blog.
Areas of work
The technical ground I work on, in testing as in consulting:
- Web applications
- Cloud infrastructure
- Linux systems
- Android apps
- Windows forensics
- Hardware
- OSINT
- Reverse engineering
Values
- Precision over fear. I don’t sell anxiety. I show what is exploitable, and how to fix it.
- What I find at your place stays at your place. No client reference without written consent.
- Responsible disclosure. Vulnerabilities are reported before they are published.
- One rate, published. No inflated quote, and a report your teams can actually apply.
