Capability 01

Vulnerability Research

Find the flaw before it finds the mission.

Discipline

Reverse engineering · Fuzzing · Exploit analysis

Targets

Binaries · Firmware · Protocols

Output

Root cause + proof + fix

Overview

Vazkeft was founded as a vulnerability research firm, and it remains the core of everything we do. We take apart software, firmware, and protocols the way a capable adversary would — then hand you the findings, the proof, and the fix, instead of the consequences.

What you get

  • Previously unknown vulnerabilities identified and responsibly disclosed before exploitation
  • Root-cause analysis that eliminates bug classes, not just single findings
  • Exploitability assessments that let program offices prioritize with evidence, not fear

Services

Inside this capability

Reverse Engineering

Static and dynamic analysis of binaries, firmware, and embedded targets — including stripped, obfuscated, and undocumented systems.

Fuzzing & Automated Discovery

Custom harness development, coverage-guided fuzzing campaigns, and triage pipelines that turn crashes into actionable, deduplicated findings.

Protocol & Interface Analysis

Dissection of proprietary protocols, message formats, and trust boundaries to expose assumptions an adversary can violate.

Exploitability & Impact Assessment

Proof-of-concept development under strict rules of engagement, so stakeholders see demonstrated impact — not theoretical severity scores.

Coordinated Disclosure

Vendor coordination and disclosure management that protects operators while the fix ships.

Method

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    Scope & threat-model

    We map the target, its trust boundaries, and the adversary most likely to attack it, and agree on rules of engagement in writing.

  2. 02

    Instrument

    We build the harnesses, emulation environments, and tooling needed to interrogate the target at depth.

  3. 03

    Hunt

    Manual reverse engineering and automated discovery run in parallel; every crash and anomaly is triaged to root cause.

  4. 04

    Prove & report

    Findings ship with reproduction steps, impact demonstration, and concrete remediation — written for both engineers and decision-makers.
