Senior🎓
Top SchoolSharad Khanna is a Systems & Kernel Software Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience in low-level security research and exploit development, currently working on SEAR/SPEAR projects at Apple. Security+ certified and active as a security researcher on GitHub, he has practical experience in kernel fuzzing, Seccomp-BPF exploitation techniques for Samsung Android devices, and tooling to convert post-exploitation C into shellcode. His background includes reversing bootloaders, TrustZone, and hypervisor components, and he leverages tools like Ghidra, eBPF, and Rust to probe platform security at EL1 and above. Having interned at Two Six Technologies and High Peaks Cyber and competed in AIxCC, he blends academic cybersecurity training from RIT with real-world offensive research skills. Notably, he has built repeatable exploitation tooling that works across JIT and non-JIT kernels—an indicator of deep practical insight into modern kernel attack surfaces.
