π Hey ! I'm Paul,
a junior cybersecurity engineer.
I'm passionate about new tech.
whoami
I'm a cybersecurity student at EPF in Paris, diving deep into the world of red teaming and offensive security.
In my free time, I'm grinding CTF challenges or hunting for vulnerabilities - there's something addictive about breaking into systems (legally, of course!). I love the puzzle-solving aspect of cybersecurity and the constant cat-and-mouse game between attackers and defenders.
I also have a strong knowledge and great interest in AI models, exploring how machine learning intersects with cybersecurity - both as a tool for defense and as a new attack vector to understand.
Always eager to learn new techniques and connect with fellow security enthusiasts in the Paris tech scene.

My Projects
MinAtt&ck
01/2025 - 06/2025
MinAtt&ck is a web security assessment tool for penetration
testing reconnaissance.
It features an intelligent crawler with fuzzing capabilities and
an integrated AI clustering model that groups similar
URLs for optimized testing efficiency.
The tool tests for
SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and security misconfigurations
before generating comprehensive vulnerability reports with
severity ratings and remediation guidance.


URL Component Parser API
05/2025
URL Component Parser API is a FastAPI-based security tool designed for comprehensive URL
analysis and validation in penetration testing workflows.
It features intelligent URL decomposition with rate limiting protection and automated
security validation including HTTPS verification and input sanitization.
The tool provides structured JSON responses, comprehensive test coverage, and integrated
security auditing with pip-audit (SCA) and bandit (SAST) analysis, making it ideal
for security assessment pipelines and vulnerability research automation.


CS161 Breaching a Vulnerable Web Server
11/2024
Successfully identified and exploited multiple web
vulnerabilities while demonstrating understanding of both
offensive and defensive security practices.
The project involved 8 progressive challenges that required
understanding of web application architecture, database
interactions, client-side security, and server-side
vulnerabilities. Demonstrated practical knowledge of defensive
security by identifying how each vulnerability could be
mitigated through proper input validation, output encoding, and
secure coding practices.
