Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicolò F is a Senior Security Researcher based in Paris with five years of focused experience in offensive security, low-level vulnerability research, and embedded/IoT reverse engineering. He has led platform-wide threat modeling and built offensive tooling in C, Rust, and Python to emulate real-world adversaries, including kernel and user-space persistence, C2 infrastructures, and proof-of-concept exploits. At Apple he now probes XNU, iBoot and coprocessor code paths, after driving embedded device vulnerability discovery and protocol reverse engineering at Nozomi Networks. His background spans academic wireless systems research and practical firmware/kernel driver development, giving him a rare combination of deep systems knowledge and hands-on exploit development. Colleagues rely on him for turning complex reverse engineering findings into actionable detection rules and robust demonstrable impact.
