About Me

M.Sc. Cybersecurity student and Research Assistant at CISPA with technical & practical foundation in Web Security, AI Agent Vulnerabilities, and Machine Learning. Currently leading novel research on Service Worker-mediated Web Cache Deception (SW-WCD) and the first systematic security evaluation of Autonomous Coding Agents (Intent-Driven Autonomous Development). Proficient in building complex simulation infrastructures (Docker/Nginx/Playwright), statistical analysis (R), and auditing AI-generated software using eBPF and stateful fuzzing.

Work Examples

Project

SW-WCD-RESEARCH: Web Cache Deception Prototype

• Engineered a complete research testbed to evaluate how Service Workers influence WCD behaviors in CDN-backed architectures. • Implemented Node.js anomaly detectors to log rewritten URLs and cache indicators. • Developed attack payloads (e.g., t1-path-sculpting.js) to bypass standard CDN cache armor. • Designed PostgreSQL schema for trial data storage and statistical power analysis.

Project

The Vibecoding Security Gap (IDAD Evaluation)

• Building `XYZ Bench` to compare Agent-Native IDEs vs. CLI agents across 275 software tasks. • Measuring hallucinated dependencies and context poisoning rates in autonomous coding. • Using eBPF to monitor insecure execution patterns in agent-generated code.

Project

Protocol Fuzzing

• Designed a stateful Fandango IO grammar for a Redis-like key-value store, enabling valid command sequences (SET/GET/UPDATE) with response validation. • Simulated an SMTP man-in-the-middle attack by hijacking authenticated sessions to send spoofed emails without hardcoded credentials. • Used derivation tree constraints and prefix-aware tracking to enforce protocol correctness during fuzzing.
