Hi, I'm Dominik 🙃
I had always worked for product security teams on the side (WiFi SoHo routers, Smartcard readers, random software, ..) during uni/PhD, but finally quit #academia completely a while ago.
Now I'm doing #connectivity security and vuln research, trying to improve archaic low level protocols and implementations in #phones 😬.
Before that, I did a lot of #fuzzing (still do) and co-authored a bunch of papers I personally like, about #snapshot and #network fuzzing (FitM), #binary-only baseband fuzzing (FirmWire), Nvidia #driver fuzzing (BSOD) and many more.
Also, stumbled into @aflplusplus, the team maintaining #AFL++ and the fuzzing library #LibAFL we wrote in #rust (https://github.com/AFLplusplus/LibAFL) that currently dominates benchmarks! Enjoying this a lot :)
Apart from that, I travel, play games, organize CTFs, and just do whatever activities friends spontaneously throw at me
