sarsaeroth/README.md
  • Hi, I’m Peter Clark. I am currently a Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories, as well as a PhD student at Iowa State University in Computer Engineering with a focus on Secure and Reliable Computing.
  • I’m interested in cybersecurity. My general background is in analysis of distributed cryptographic systems, such as Bitcoin and Tor. More specifically, my interest has been in the analysis of proxy networks.
  • I'm currently working on teaching myself more offensive security principles, from general red teaming to more in-depth exploit development with a particular interest in kernel-level vulnerabilities.
  • Please reach out if there's any projects that you think I would be interested in collaborating on.
  • The best way to reach me for issues/collaboration is through pgclark @ iastate [.] edu
  • Fun fact: My interest in programming started when I became interested in learning how to write WeiDU mods for Baldur's Gate 2.
  • The projects on this repository largely fall into two camps:
    • Python libraries for scientific computing. My undergraduate background is in mathematics and physics, and I occasionally have an interest in software development for non-security related purposes.
      • PyHF - Python library for numerical computation of Hartree-Fock configurations in quantum mechanics.
      • PyIsing - Python library for adiabatic simulation of Ising spin glasses for certain NP-complete problems. Developed as a term project for COMS 5340.
      • PyPansophy - Python library for calculation of pansophy (expected number of disjoint paths) of a graph. Based off of the dissertation work of a friend.
      • PySL - Python library for numerical calculation of solutions to Sturm-Liouville-type differential equations.
    • Security and vulnerability research. These will be written primarily, but not necessarily, in C/C++ to develop my coding skills in those environments. They will be focused on reverse engineering of exploits, especially based on the Linux and Windows kernels.
      • CVE-2023-23397 - POC for an Outlook zero-click vulnerability allowing retrieval and cracking of NTLM credentials.
      • CVE-2023-41064 - POC for an Apple ImageI/O zero-click vulnerability allowing for remote code execution.
      • CVE-2023-4863 - POC for a libwebp zero-click vulnerability based on Huffman tables allowing for remote code execution.
      • FPGAcrypto - Library for simulating side-channel analysis of cryptographic algorithms in Verilog. Developed as a term project for CPRE 5810.
      • MimiGhostz - A version of Mimikatz that uses speculative execution to read the memory of a target process to grab credentials. Developed as a term project for CPRE 6810.
      • Pando - A library for parallel computation of blockchain transaction structures I worked on as part of an LDRD. This repository contains my own public contributions.
