1 upcoming · 0 completedFocus areas
Vulnerability Research
Source review and black box analysis to find the bug before it is public, then prove it with a working trigger.
Exploit Development
Turning crashes and logic flaws into reliable proof of concept exploits, memory corruption through to auth bypass.
Web & API Testing
Injection, access control, deserialisation, SSRF and business logic across modern application stacks.
Reverse Engineering
Static and dynamic analysis of binaries and protocols, unpacking and instrumenting what has no source.
Network & Infrastructure
Perimeter and internal assessment, pivoting, privilege escalation and post exploitation across Linux and Windows.
Cryptography
Breaking weak implementations, padding and oracle attacks, and the misuse of otherwise sound primitives.
