Soner Tari is an experienced open-source cybersecurity developer and maintainer with nine years of focused work on network defense tools, notably SSLproxy and UTMFW (formerly ComixWall). He builds and sustains a suite of interconnected FOSS projects for OpenBSD—UTMFW, PFFW, PFRE, and interception tools like SSLsplit and SnortIPS—releasing multiple major updates each year. His unique SSLproxy enables transparent SSL/TLS decryption and diversion for deep inspection, a capability trusted by security professionals worldwide and strengthened by contributions to the well-known sslsplit project. Currently driving HTTP/2 translation and native support in SSLproxy, he addresses an underappreciated gap that allows legacy inspection tools to remain effective as web traffic evolves. Based in Turkey, Soner blends hands-on protocol engineering with long-term maintenance discipline, delivering practical solutions to the hardest encrypted-traffic challenges.
