Shane Macaulay’s Summary

Over a decade of experience as a security specialist. Lay persons may associate portions of my c.v. as "Red Team" style engagements. Having published numerous papers, tools or proof of concept exploit works, has culminated with the founding of Security Objectives Corp. and a determination to unveil our dynamic binary instrumentation (DBI) framework.

Our goal is to release a flaw finding factory, with near total automation, irrefutable test cases are created with various forms of application introspection and steering to deliver factual, objective results which are inherently unique and specific to the application code that is being tested. Coupled with a visualization paradigm that directly aids the identification of fundamental application architectural weaknesses and a long term security information management ability to continually feedback and snowball tactical, and situational information to ensure an evolved institutional ability for actionable and repeatable security measures.

To sum up, we hope to solve system failures due to implementation or architectural design choices, with no false positives and an absolute minimal code churn / developer code changes.

Shane Macaulay’s Specialties:

All forms of tactical technical IT security specialization. Proficient in identifying undocumented flaws, weaknesses or vulnerabilities in a systems architecture or implementation. Analysis and comprehension of security event artifacts, malware, trace data, or identified threat vector to isolate or determine root cause failure.
