Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichał Trojnara is a seasoned penetration test specialist and free-software developer with 27 years of experience in network and embedded security, currently testing Sony services and maintaining stunnel, the widely used TLS encrypting proxy he authored. He combines deep reverse-engineering and cryptography expertise—from TrustZone/kernel exploits and DRM analysis to Authenticode signing work on osslsigncode—with hands-on leadership of pentest teams and lab environments. His background spans financial and telecom risk assessment (ABN AMRO, RBS, PTK Centertel) through to embedded firmware and client devices, and he authored Sony’s internal SSL/TLS implementation standard. Based in Warsaw, he bridges rigorous academic training in cryptography (PhD) with practical code-level contributions that modernize crypto tooling and integrate with projects like SoftHSM2.
