Focus areas

01

Vulnerability Research

Source review and black box analysis to find the bug before it is public, then prove it with a working trigger.

02

Exploit Development

Turning crashes and logic flaws into reliable proof of concept exploits, memory corruption through to auth bypass.

03

Web & API Testing

Injection, access control, deserialisation, SSRF and business logic across modern application stacks.

04

Reverse Engineering

Static and dynamic analysis of binaries and protocols, unpacking and instrumenting what has no source.

05

Network & Infrastructure

Perimeter and internal assessment, pivoting, privilege escalation and post exploitation across Linux and Windows.

06

Cryptography

Breaking weak implementations, padding and oracle attacks, and the misuse of otherwise sound primitives.
