Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJean-françois Auger is a Lead Penetration Tester based in Bussigny, Switzerland, with 12 years in security roles built on a 30+ year software engineering foundation. He specializes in offensive security for web apps, APIs, and internal/external infrastructures, emphasizing realistic attack chains, manual exploitation, and translating technical findings into business risk. His developer background in Node.js, TypeScript, Python and .NET gives him an edge in uncovering logic flaws and authorization issues that automated tools miss. He also brings niche IoT and electronics expertise—contributing to the well-known OpenZWave C++ library—which informs his assessments of embedded and wireless systems. A CPTS and CWES holder with Guru rank on Hack The Box, he pairs hands-on exploitation skills (privilege escalation, lateral movement) with mentoring and methodology improvement. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic technical coach who produces high-quality, client-ready reporting and drives tooling and process enhancements.
