Top SchoolNadeem Douba is a founding principal and senior information security consultant with over 15 years delivering technical security assessments, training, and bespoke research for public and private sector clients. He founded Red Canari and co-founded DEF CON 613, and previously led software security at MindBridge Ai, blending hands-on engineering with strategic security leadership. A prolific open-source author, his tools and frameworks—such as PyMiProxy used by the Internet Archive and the Canari Framework adopted by Fortune 500s—are staples in offensive security and demonstrated at DEF CON and BlackHat. His deep expertise spans OS and application security, open source intelligence, security software development, and large-scale data analysis, with practical low-level network hacking contributions visible in projects like libnet and Metasploit RPC libraries. Based in Ottawa, he pairs an engineering background from Carleton University with a practitioner’s instinct for finding and fixing subtle memory, protocol, and tooling flaws that many teams miss.
