Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndré Tavares is a Senior Threat Researcher with a decade of hands-on experience tracking and dissecting malware botnets using OSINT, reverse engineering and large-scale data mining. At BitSight he has reverse engineered families like PrivateLoader, AgentTesla, FluBot and Trickbot, built botnet trackers/emulators, and authored network, file and memory detection signatures. He pairs deep technical skills (Python, Spark on EMR) with practical automation—creating domain-hunting and clustering pipelines to surface compromised systems and leaked credentials. Trained with an M.Sc. in Cyber Security & Software Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico, he blends academic rigor with operational threat hunting. Known for sharing knowledge and mentoring peers, he brings a persistent curiosity for new challenges and for uncovering non-obvious indicators of compromise across large datasets.
