who i am

Red team operator and offensive security researcher with a deep obsession for low-level Windows internals. I spend most of my time at the intersection of kernel exploitation, hypervisor research, and reverse engineering — tearing apart security mechanisms to understand how they work and where they fail.

My current focus is Windows kernel and hypervisor security: VBS/Hyper-V architecture, VTL isolation boundaries, and the internals of securekernel.exe. When I'm not staring at IDA or WinDbg, I'm probably writing about what I found.

areas of interest

  • Windows Kernel Exploitation
  • Hypervisor Internals (VBS, Hyper-V, WHP API)
  • Secure Kernel & VTL 0 → 1 Boundaries
  • Driver Development & Analysis
  • Reverse Engineering (IDA Pro, WinDbg)
  • EDR Evasion & Bypass Research

projects

  • VulnDriver — Vulnerable kernel driver demonstrating UAF via non-atomic reference counting, race condition exploitation, and LPE to SYSTEM.
  • Mirage-RS — Rust reimplementation of Akamai's Mirage technique for VBS enclave payload staging across VTL boundaries.
  • VFCoop — IDAPython vfGadget enumerator for COOP (Counterfeit Object-Oriented Programming) gadget discovery.
  • Volstgalph — x86-64 4-level paging simulator for studying virtual address translation mechanics.
  • Solemn — HVCI driver blocklist automation tooling.
  • Misery — EDR bypass loader.
