NODE://CREW

A small crew of senior operators.

TurboVisionForge is deliberately small. Every engagement is run by someone who has done it a hundred times, not handed to a junior with a checklist. We would rather turn down work we cannot staff with the right person than send the wrong one.

NODE://FOUNDER

Why this crew exists.

I spent a decade splitting time between two worlds that rarely talk to each other: breaking into systems on the offensive side, and building the detections that catch people like me on the defensive side. The gap between those two worlds is where most breaches live.

I started TurboVisionForge in 2021 to close that gap for companies that move fast. The premise is simple: attack the system honestly, show the client exactly how it failed, then help them build the thing that would have caught it. No theatre, no fear-selling, no scanner output dressed up as a penetration test.

We stayed small on purpose. A boutique crew of senior people can do work a hundred-person firm structurally cannot — because the person on your engagement is the person who wrote the report, not a name on a capacity sheet. I scope every job and read every report before it leaves the building.

The operators.

Field operators run under handles on the public site; clients meet them by name under NDA.

Artiom Aftenii

Founder · Principal Operator

Artiom founded TurboVisionForge in 2021 after a decade splitting time between offensive security and detection engineering. He scopes every engagement and reviews every report.

0x01

Operator — DELTA

Lead Penetration Tester

OSCP and OSWE certified, DELTA runs our web and network offensive work. Specialises in business-logic abuse and the chained low-severity finding that turns critical.

0x02

Operator — SABLE

Detection Engineer

SABLE builds and tunes the detections under our Operations Retainer. Former SOC analyst who got tired of alerts nobody could action.

0x03

Operator — VESPER

IR & Forensics Lead

VESPER leads incident response. GCFA certified, calm on the bridge at 3 a.m., and the person you want scoping an intrusion while everyone else is panicking.

0x04

Operator — QUILL

Compliance & vCISO

QUILL runs our compliance and fractional-CISO work. Translates between auditors, engineers, and boards without losing anyone in the jargon.

NODE://PROTOCOL

How an engagement runs.

Six phases, every time. The shape does not change whether you booked a web-app test or a full red team.

00

Scope

A scoping call and a written rules-of-engagement document. We agree exactly what is in bounds, what is off-limits, and who gets the 2 a.m. call if something breaks.

01

Recon

We map the real attack surface — the assets you forgot you had, the subdomain from 2021, the staging box with prod data. You cannot defend what you have not inventoried.

02

Engage

The actual work — manual testing, detection authoring, or control building, depending on the engagement. Senior operators only. Daily updates, no radio silence.

03

Report

Findings written for two audiences: an executive summary your board can read, and reproduction steps your engineers can act on. Severity-rated, prioritised, no filler.

04

Remediate

We do not disappear at the report. We sit with your team, answer questions, and re-test every finding once you have patched — free, within 90 days.

05

Watch

For retainer clients, the loop continues: new detections, quarterly tabletops, and a standing hotline. Security is a posture, not a project.

NODE://HQ

Based in Orlando, Florida.

We run from Orlando, Florida and work remotely with clients across North America and Europe. Most engagements are fully remote — we test your systems from where the attackers would. When an engagement needs hands on site, we travel.

The incident-response hotline is staffed 24/7/365. If you hold a prepaid hour bank and something is on fire, that is the number to call.
