About Me

Hello! I’m Sharon Brizinov, a security researcher with more than 200 CVEs. I specialize in vulnerability research and OT/IoT security. I’ve presented my research in many conferences including DEFCON, BlackHat, BlueHatIL, HITCON, SANS, and more. I also contribute code to open-source projects, see my GitHub page.
I also participated in Pwn2Own five times including ICS 2020, ICS 2022, IoT 2022,ICS 2023, IoT 2023, got SANS Institue Researcher-of-the-Year Award and won DEFCON 27’s ICS CTF, earning a DEFCON black badge.
I found vulnerabilities in major companies and products such as:
- ICS: Siemens, GE, Rockwell Automation, ABB, Emerson, Honeywell, Schneider Electric, and others.
- IoT: Qualcomm, Synology, Western Digital, Netgear, TP-Link, and others.
- Misc: Wireshark, Splunk, BusyBox, and others.
