If someone targeted your system, how far would they get?

Most breaches aren’t sophisticated.

They’re the result of issues no one took seriously until it was too late.

The Reality

The average cost of a data breach is ~$4.45 million.

Even when it isn’t catastrophic, the damage is real:

• downtime
• lost customers
• emergency remediation
• legal exposure

Most of it comes from problems that were already there—just undiscovered.

Attackers don’t need zero-days.
They need one mistake.

What I Do

I simulate how a real attacker would approach your system.

Then I follow it through until there’s impact.

You get:

• the actual paths an attacker would take
• what they could achieve
• how to shut it down

No noise. No compliance theater. No false positives.

What I Focus On

Web Apps & APIs

• broken authentication and authorization
• logic flaws
• injection and data exposure

Infrastructure

• exposed services
• internal movement paths
• privilege escalation

Targeted Engagements

• specific systems
• specific concerns
• fast, focused work

Why Work With Me

I’ve spent years breaking real systems across enterprise and government environments.

I don’t stop at surface-level findings.
I keep going until something meaningful breaks.

Typical Outcomes

• user-to-admin escalation
• cross-tenant data access
• internal system exposure
• full compromise from chained issues

How Engagements Work

• small scope
• fast execution
• direct communication

You’ll leave with:

• a clear understanding of your risk
• a prioritized fix list
• no ambiguity about what matters
