A community spotlight interview with Rishi (@rxerium), one of the most prolific contributors to the Nuclei Templates repository with over 500 merged templates. He discusses his journey from user to contributor, his workflow for building detection templates (covering CVEs, zero-days, and AI/LLM product fingerprints), how his approach has evolved toward proactive detection and stronger fingerprinting, and his philosophy on open source contribution — emphasizing that imperfect contributions improved through community collaboration are better than none at all. His templates have been adopted by national cybersecurity agencies including the UK NCSC, CERT Polska, and Spain's national security agency.
