So here are some links I’ve found mentioning GainSec or myself.

Outdated as of 10/2025 – Due to my Flock Safety security research project as well as some of my novel projects like the AutoProber being noticed, I have lagged behind on keeping this page up to date. I hope to get to updating this soon.

Check out one of my security research papers published in the latest issue of Phrack! – Link

Note: I’m actively searching for the News Segment video I was in while I was at Leet Cyber Security, if you have a recording please send it my way!

This is the video I’m looking for.
Know of one I didn’t find?
Please send it to info@gainsec.com!
