Computers, linux, servers, parkour, bike and chess, in that order. Part of the official .

My main projects currently:

• Security research on rust software already deployed in production, often rust rewrites like the git rust rewrite or the coreutils rewrite (uutils).
• Contributing to linux distributions like Openmandriva where I'm one of the 60 core team members.
• Making fast software in C, secure software in rust or rapid prototypes in python
• Creating my own future-proof linux distribution with near-native support for windows apps executing from the file manager as a PoC.

I aim to find one medium vulnerability in widely deployed rust software per week, and one completed personal project per 6 months.

Examples of my work include:

• finding this CVE in sudo-rs that allowed full root privilege escalation (highest scoring CVE in that software to date) alongside a lot of other interesting mild issues.
• finding two vulnerabilities that can turn gittoxide, the rust rewrite of git into a cheesegrater with user compromissing just by cloning and gix status on a repo
• and various other fun stuff along the way (peek at my PR/commit history!)

D Tier:

I may be young but I am not a beginner, having over a decade of experience in linux systems and securing whole datacenters from the hardware to the end user. Able to learn new things fast and well if needed.

I don't use github often for my own projects (I don't trust microsoft to maintain a proper uptime) hence my rather empty account, I prefer to use self-hosted free software such as gogs.
