I’m a researcher at Intel, where my research areas include CPU glitching and taint tracking.
I’m also studying Mathematics (at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and Physics (at University of Amsterdam).
Before joining Intel, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the System and Network Security Group at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science (cum laude) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in June 2017 for my thesis entitled “Analyzing and Securing Binaries Through Static Disassembly,” winning the Roger Needham Ph.D. Award at EuroSys 2018, and the ACM SIGSAC Doctoral Dissertation Award at CCS 2018.
I was one of the main reverse engineers in the takedown of the GameOver Zeus peer-to-peer botnet (Operation Tovar), and I'm the author of Practical Binary Analysis.
You can see my CV here.
Available in English, Polish, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese (Mandarin). See the book website for more information.

Since the publication of our MALWARE’13 paper, P2P Zeus has seen several updates.
Most notably, some recent variants use the DGA as the main C2 channel instead of the P2P proxy layer.
For a technical reference, it is therefore best to refer to our periodically updated
technical report.
