Summary
🤩
RockstarRobert Graham is a security-focused software engineer and founder with 14 years of experience running Errata Security from Portland, Oregon. He’s best known for high-impact open-source tooling—authoring masscan, and pioneering exploit/detection proofs like BlackICE, heartleech, and sidejacking—which reflect deep expertise in low-level networking, TCP/IP and SSL/TLS internals. His contributions show a knack for performance-driven engineering (PF_RING integration, raw socket work) and pragmatic vulnerability research, including BlueKeep and Heartbleed demonstrations. Equally comfortable writing exploit proof-of-concepts and production-grade scanners, he blends offensive security insight with systems-level coding to uncover and mitigate real-world risk.
