Summary
🎓
Top SchoolCorey Hartman is a vulnerability researcher and reverse engineer with eight years of experience uncovering zero-day flaws and producing proof-of-concept exploits across embedded, mobile, and cloud systems. Based in San Antonio, he balances hands-on offensive research at Kudu Dynamics with teaching reverse engineering and vulnerability research at Dakota State University while completing a PhD in Cyber Operations. His engineering background spans full SDLC software development in Python, C/C++, Java, Go and building tooling — fuzzers, Ghidra scripts, and binary analysis utilities — that accelerate vulnerability discovery. A published IEEE author and repeat Black Hat and DEF CON speaker, he brings both academic rigor and practical exploit development to real-world security challenges. Notably, his career started in the Air Force managing PKI and secure systems, informing his deep operational understanding of secure infrastructure. He combines research-grade analysis with production software experience to turn complex reverse-engineering problems into actionable security findings.
