Oakland, California, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZachary Cutlip is a senior offensive security researcher with 14 years of experience specializing in memory corruption, reverse engineering, and tooling for vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Currently at CrowdStrike after research roles at Apple, Azimuth Security, and a period as an independent consultant, he has a track record of finding and hardening deep OS and kernel issues across iOS and macOS. He builds pragmatic tools—contributions to debugger UIs like Voltron and numerous internal instrumentations—to accelerate bug hunting and make complex workflows repeatable. Zachary pairs hands-on exploitation skill with published talks and writeups, and he’s as comfortable iterating on a hex editor as he is automating large-scale attack surface enumeration. Based in Oakland, he blends artisanal gadget-chain curiosity with rigorous, production-grade security engineering.
