Hi there 👋

I'm Andreas, software developer gone pen-tester.

🔭🌱👯 I am currently working on using Offensive AI for Security as part of my phd thesis

I honestly care about security. If you like my work and are lucky enough to be able to fund others, I'd appreciate sponsorship through my github sponsor page.

Random Stuff about me

• Original Author of hackingBuddyGPT, allowing pen-testers to experiment with using LLMs in 50 lines of code or less
• Got my master degree in Software Engineering from the Technical University of Vienna, Austria
• After some years of software development slowly turned into a penetration-tester, focusing upon web security
• Taught multiple web security classes at the University of Applied Sciences Vienna / Technikum Wien
• Over time became OWASP Leader (and Co-Leader) of multiple projects, e.g., OWASP Chapter Vienna, OWASP Chapter Klagenfurt, OWASP Proactive Security Controls.
• While at the Austrian Institute of Technology, I initially worked on Quantum Key Distribution networks (and somehow am one of many co-authors of a paper with a Nobel Prize Lectaurate, funny world), later on Secret-Sharing in the cloud as well as on identity management.
