I'm Florian Hantke, a PhD student at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security focusing on web security. Before that, I studied computer science at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg in Germany and at Universidade Federal do Paraná in Brazil and completed my master's degree in 2022. I love to research and practice IT security in CTFs with FAUST or while Bug Bounty Hunting. In my freetime I like analyzing programs and in 2020 I began to write some articles about it.
Besides hacking in front of my PC, I also enjoy climbing with friends or relaxing while cooking a good meal.
