I am a passionate Offensive Security Engineer from afine, committed to finding 👾 bugs and developing 🤖 software that enhances our work in security. My main areas of interest are 🍎 macOS internals and 🕸️ web application security. I also have experience in 💠 Active Directory and creating 🦠 malware to bypass 🛡️ EDRs.

I created some tools helpful for Offensive Security work, but there are two that I am the most proud of, they are:

• Crimson - this was my first big thing. Currently, I am not focusing on this tool. However, it is still powerful. My friends and I are using it to this day. This is also a great place to start your journey with Application Security.
• Snake&Apple - The code repository for the Snake&Apple article series documents my macOS security research.

As my daily work and some part of my free time research, I am looking for bugs 🐛. I have caught many of them so far, and some have even received a public CVE. I am particularly proud of these two:

• CVE-2023-35359 - Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
• Hummingbird < 3.4.2 - Unauthenticated Path Traversal

In my free time, I also run a blog about - guess what 😆

I have participated in multiple CTFs, completed various courses, and obtained certifications through various platforms. Below are links that demonstrate some of these small accomplishments:

• Certs - OSCE³, eWPTxv2, OSCP, OST2-Arch1001
• Pentesterlab - various web hacking courses & CTFs.
• RPISEC/MBE - Modern Binary Exploitation - CSCI 4968
• HTB - CTFs & Pro Labs
• CS50 - Harvard University - Introduction to Computer Science
