Founded 2024 · Algeria

An independent security
research company.

theonlyabdou builds offensive security tooling for researchers who need to move faster than the defenses in front of them.

Why we exist

Security tooling has been stuck in the same shape for fifteen years: static payload lists, brittle signature matching, and reports a human has to interpret from scratch every time. Meanwhile, the defenses we test against have gotten smarter — WAFs that learn, CDNs that fingerprint, anti-bot systems that reason.

theonlyabdou was founded in 2024 to close that gap. We build tooling that assumes the model on the other side is thinking, and gives the researcher a thinking partner in return. The result is a platform where the intelligence layer — Claude — plans, interprets, and reports; and the researcher stays in control of every action.

The company is bootstrapped, based in Algeria, and focused on a single product: Mr Skorpo.

Founder — theonlyabdou

Abdou has spent years building offensive security tooling for red teams and independent researchers. He founded theonlyabdou in 2024 to bring reasoning-based automation into a discipline still dominated by static payload lists. He writes the code, runs the research, and ships the product.

How we work

Reasoning over matching

Every decision the platform makes is driven by a model that reads context, not a list that was written three years ago.

Researcher in control

Automation proposes. The researcher decides. No black boxes, no hidden requests, no silent exfiltration.

Built to survive

Session persistence, adaptive rate limiting, and multi-format export. Long engagements shouldn't end in a crash.
