Hi! I’m thet0aster, a.k.a Kishore. I am a vulnerability researcher and a current computer science grad student enrolled in Georgia Tech’s OMSCS program. My interests mainly lie in offensive security research, binary exploitation, reverse engineering, and malware analysis to name a few…those sorts of things. But I am deeply passionate about game dev, emulation, and console hacking as well. My journey in vulnerability research began with my interests in ROM hacking and homebrew game development on devices such as the Nintendo DS and 3DS.

I want this blog to be a place where I talk about my interests, post CTF writeups, or document personal projects so that others can learn from them and contribute.

Beyond this, I am passionate about music and fitness. I enjoy lifting and I have played the piano for over a decade
