Remote Unauthenticated Denial of Service in Mirai Botnet C&C Server
I discovered a vulnerability in the Mirai botnet's command and control server that allows any remote, unauthenticated attacker to crash the C&C process entirely. The flaw exists in how the server handles incoming connections before authentication, making it possible to send a crafted payload that triggers a fatal error. This effectively creates a "kill switch" for active Mirai C&C hosts. The finding was shared with global law enforcement agencies, enabling them to remotely disable malicious C&C infrastructure without needing to compromise or seize the servers directly.

Remote Code Execution in Raspberry Pi Configuration Service
A remote code execution vulnerability in a Raspberry Pi configuration service allowed attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the host system. The service failed to sanitize user-supplied input before passing it to system-level calls, making exploitation straightforward for anyone with network access. I reported this to the maintainers, and a patch was released addressing the input validation flaw.

Privilege Escalation via Improper Access Control in Embedded Systems
I identified a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Vypor DDoS Attack API caused by improper access control mechanisms. The flaw allowed authenticated low-privilege users to execute remote commands at elevated privilege levels, bypassing intended authorization boundaries. This could be chained with other vulnerabilities to achieve full system control. The vendor was notified and released a fix that enforced proper role-based access checks.
