Projects & Research

Building a modular Command & Control (C2) framework with a sleek TUI console for offensive operations. Rust-based architecture for security and performance, with dynamic payload delivery and adaptive evasion capabilities.

Key Features:

• Full-featured TUI console for C2 operations
• Plugin-based modular architecture
• Dynamic module loading and execution
• Adaptive evasion and persistence mechanisms
• Cross-platform agent compatibility

Research publication introducing the concept of interactionless deception—a defensive paradigm focused on strategic manipulation of the environment to disrupt the cyber kill chain without requiring direct adversary engagement.

Research Contributions:

• Co-authored peer-reviewed publication with Marcus Rozier, Ted McDaniel, Hadley Westover
• Analyzed MITRE ATT&CK® data across 178 APT groups using greedy top-k selection
• Identified seven high-frequency attack sub-techniques
• Developed proof-of-concept tools: deceptive web proxies, simulated C2 beacons, endpoint security simulations
• Focus on increasing cognitive load to reduce adversarial operational effectiveness

Authoring reverse engineering and binary exploitation challenges for cybersecurity competitions.

Challenge Types:

• Reverse engineering challenges in C and Go
• Buffer overflow exploitations
• Custom encryption scheme analysis
• x86/x64 stack exploitation with calling-convention analysis
• Web-based cryptography challenges
