Offensive Security
Nation-state APT emulation, physical & digital penetration, social engineering and C2 deployment — I find the gaps before real adversaries do.
Defensive Operations
SOC architecture, SIEM engineering (Splunk, ELK, QRadar), threat hunting, detection engineering and 24/7 monitoring strategy.
Investigation & Forensics
Darknet surveillance, cryptocurrency tracing (BTC, XMR, ETH), OSINT attribution and court-admissible evidence. Wherever they hide, I find them.
Six Disciplines. One Security Partner.
From adversary emulation to incident response, cybercrime investigation and secure development, I cover the full attack surface — so you don't need six different vendors to stay protected.

Discovered CVEs
Security vulnerabilities responsibly disclosed and assigned CVE identifiers, coordinated with the affected vendors and maintainers.
IPv6 SSRF Allow-List Bypass — Every IPv6 address category — loopback, ULA, link-local, IPv4-mapped and NAT64 — bypassed the dssrf library’s is_url_safe() check, enabling server-side request forgery. Fixed in dssrf 1.0.3.
GHSA-8p33-q827-ghj5SSRF Bypass in dssrf 1.0.3 (incomplete fix) — The latest version (1.0.3) can still be bypassed to reach all internal IPv4 ranges, IPv6 loopback/ULA/link-local, the AWS instance-metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254) and any internal host via a userinfo (user@host) prefix. This vector was not covered by the GHSA-8p33-q827-ghj5 fix, so 1.0.3 still needs updating.
GHSA-cg4g-m8jx-vjv2Localhost SSRF via 1.1.1.1 DNS — When the DNS resolver is set to 1.1.1.1, dssrf treats localhost URLs as safe because the resolver returns NXDOMAIN for them, letting an attacker reach local resources. Affects ≤ 1.0.4; fixed in 1.0.5.
GHSA-5846-7qm3-r52jNetwork-Exposed ADB — The Allwinner H616 “TV98” TV box ships with Android Debug Bridge enabled and exposed on the network in production; an attacker who obtains ADB authorization can gain root-level access. Published by CISA.
CISA · VA-26-190-03XML Attribute Value Bypass — CRS did not inspect XML attribute values, so payloads placed inside attributes (e.g. a javascript: URI) evaded detection. Affected ~159 rules across 9 rule families at all paranoia levels; fixed by the CRS maintainers.
GHSA-6jp8-c2w2-x7wrFile-Extension Whitespace Bypass — Whitespace padding in a filename (e.g. “shell. php”) bypassed dangerous-extension upload rules that did not normalize whitespace before the extension check. Fixed in CRS 3.3.9 and 4.25.0.
GHSA-rw5f-9w43-gv2wArchive Path Traversal (Zip Slip) — IArchive.WriteToDirectory() in SharpCompress ≤ 0.47.4 let a malicious archive create directories outside the intended extraction root; combined with TAR symlink entries this escalates to arbitrary file writes with the process’s permissions. Fixed in 0.48.0. Credited as Analyst on the advisory.

DSSRF — An OWASP-Listed SSRF Defense Library
A JavaScript library I wrote and maintain: it validates and sanitizes URLs before your application makes an outbound request, so server-side request forgery never leaves the gate.
“dssrf — Defend Against SSRF attacks by providing huge of utils for validation; you integrate it with your web client before making request, you validate the url for eliminating SSRF attacks.”

Reported to Vendors and Government Agencies
Every vulnerability I find goes through responsible, coordinated disclosure — with the affected vendor first, and with the national authorities when the impact reaches beyond a single product. Router firmware, exposed devices, malicious domains and phishing email infrastructure alike.
Multiple vulnerabilities reported against TP-Link consumer router firmware — static private keys baked into every unit, unencrypted management paths and unauthenticated administrative protocols — all disclosed through the vendor’s PSIRT process.
When a vendor is unresponsive or a product is widely deployed, I escalate through CISA’s coordinated vulnerability disclosure program. CVE-2026-58378 (network-exposed ADB) was published by CISA as VA-26-190-03.
Criminal infrastructure surfaced during investigations — credential-harvesting kits, mule email accounts, malware distribution hosts — is referred to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) with the supporting evidence and attribution analysis.
Cross-border issues and flaws touching critical infrastructure or public-sector systems are reported to the relevant national CERT/CSIRT and government bodies, and I stay engaged until a fix is rolled out.
Phishing domains, spoofed email infrastructure and fraud sites are mapped and reported to registrars, hosting providers, mail providers and national abuse desks so they get taken down rather than just blocked locally.
