RESEARCH &
PUBLICATIONS

Independent security research focused on how modern systems actually fail- cloud infrastructure, container isolation, Kubernetes orchestration, and AI platforms. Published findings, disclosed vulnerabilities, and conference presentations going back to 2020.

FEATURED RESEARCH

CVE-2025-x153
terminal

THE KUBERNETES BREAKOUT PROJECT

A chain attack on Kubernetes orchestration, combining container isolation bypasses and misconfiguration paths to achieve host-level persistence. Presented at BSides USA (VA). 1M+ systems affected.

ZERO-DAY ANALYSIS

AI MODEL POISONING VIA API

Adversarial attack research targeting LLM provider data pipelines via unvalidated API endpoints, demonstrating how model poisoning can be introduced through external-facing interfaces. Presented at REcon.

INFRASTRUCTURE SEC

Adaptive AI Malware

A new class of malware that uses AI-driven decision-making to change its execution logic while running. Instead of following a fixed attack chain, it adapts to defensive controls, permission boundaries, and execution outcomes—creating non-deterministic behavior that challenges signatures, sandboxes, replay analysis, and traditional behavioral detection.

Recommended Research

AWS EKS Chain Attack

Chaining IAM misconfiguration, metadata service access, and container privileges to achieve cluster-admin in a real AWS EKS environment. Full disclosure published independently.

Google Colab escape

Exploiting shared kernel resources in Google Colab’s multi-tenant environment to break isolation boundaries between user sessions.

Cloud Shell Security Research

Investigating how Google Cloud Shell and similar ephemeral environments handle isolation, and where those assumptions break down.

Azure Key Vault Misconfiguration Path

A misconfiguration chain in Azure Key Vault access policies allowing unauthorized secret extraction across tenant boundaries under specific conditions.

TALKS &
PRESENTATIONS

 Regularly contributing to the global security community by sharing findings at major industry conferences and global conferences, events.

RESEARCH APPROACH

BREAKING SYSTEMS

Identifying non-obvious entry points by challenging the fundamental assumptions of architectural design.

ANALYZING ARCHITECTURE

Mapping complex dependencies to find weaknesses where components interact with external systems.

CHAINING VULNERABILITIES

Moving beyond single-step bugs to create high-impact exploit chains that demonstrate business risk.

WANT TO GO DEEPER?

The techniques documented in this research are the foundation for ByteBuzz labs. You can reproduce the attack chains, understand the methodology step-by-step, and build real defensive intuition from the same environments I researched.
This is the lab side of the research.
