Sharing my discoveries

About me

I have always been interested by computers. Both as a builder (programming) and as a breaker (hacking).
I begun my professional career in the cyber-security field (used to be called "information security"), as a pentester. Following my keen interest for software development, and wanting to help improve security in a different way, I am now more of a security researcher and developer.
I learn a lot everyday in order to stay up to date with all the progress in my field. On this blog, I will share my:

I am also a CTF player with my Tipi'Hack friends. We like to gather and spend time cracking security challenges.
And by the way, I am French 🇫🇷

Speaking

I like to share my research and discoveries with the community, and I had the chance to speak at several conferences.
You can find the list of my public talks on the Talks page.

Programming

Coding is always a pleasure for me. Therefore I like to contribute back to many opensource security tools I use whenever I find bugs or enhancements. For example:

  • BloodHound and SharpHound
  • Nmap
  • Metasploit
  • Atomic Red Team
  • Impacket
  • Ghostpack
  • PowerSploit
  • HostAPd-WPE
  • Responder
  • sqlmap
  • ...
Find all these on my developer profile on GitHub: @cnotin.
My main languages are Python and C#, but I can contribute on existing codebases in most major languages.
