I’m Mukhilan Pari, a software & firmware security engineer. My work spans product security — web, mobile, and low-level/firmware — and, increasingly, the intersection of security with LLMs.
Credentials: OSCP · CEH
What I spend my time on:
- Product security research — offensive testing across web, mobile, and low-level targets in my day-to-day work.
- Security research & CTFs — vulnerability analysis; I’ve played CTFs competitively and authored challenges for an international CTF.
- LLM harnessing — building agent harnesses that put language models to work on security tasks: fuzzing, vulnerability triage, and exploit-analysis workflows.
- Local-model benchmarking — benchmarking open-weight models running locally on security workloads, and publishing the results.
Earlier writeups (2019–2021) — OSCP-era lab writeups, mobile SSL-pinning research, an MFA paper, and a CTF guest lecture — live in the archive.
