Breaking real-world systems to understand how to secure them.

I'm Florian Kabashi, an offensive security researcher from Kosovo focused on vulnerability research, web application security, AI security, reverse engineering, and offensive security.

I spend most of my time researching how systems fail — from web applications and open-source software to AI-powered systems and security tooling.

I'm also an active CTF player, using CTFs as a way to sharpen exploitation, reverse engineering, privilege escalation, and vulnerability research skills.

My interests include:

• Vulnerability research in open-source software
• Web application and API security
• WordPress security
• AI / LLM security and adversarial AI
• Prompt injection and agent security
• Security automation
• Reverse engineering and exploit development

I prefer reproducible research — understanding the underlying code, validating findings locally, and documenting the technical root cause.
