Hi, I’m Samir Anastasio
I’m a security researcher specializing in AI Security and Binary Exploitation, with a focus on discovering and understanding vulnerabilities in modern systems. Through SecureYourGear, I share technical writeups, research, and educational content to help others learn offensive security techniques.
What I Do
AI Security Research
- OWASP LLM vulnerability analysis and exploitation
- Prompt injection techniques and bypass methodologies
- Large Language Model security testing (Lakera AI CTF, Gandalf challenges)
- AI/ML security implications and defense strategies
Binary Exploitation
- Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) chain development
- Stack-based buffer overflow exploitation
- ret2libc techniques and ASLR bypass methods
- CTF challenge solutions and walkthroughs
Security Operations
- SOC automation with Wazuh SIEM, TheHive, and Shuffle SOAR
- Security monitoring and incident response workflows
- Threat detection and automated analysis pipelines
Featured Content
This site features detailed technical writeups covering:
- CTF Challenges: OverTheWire Bandit, Lakera AI Security, and more
- Binary Exploitation: ROP chains, buffer overflows, memory corruption
- AI Security: LLM prompt injection, model vulnerabilities
- Security Automation: SOC lab builds, SIEM/SOAR integration
- Network Security: VPN configuration, secure networking
Focus Areas
- 🤖 AI/LLM Security: Exploring vulnerabilities in Large Language Models
- 🔓 Binary Exploitation: Low-level exploitation techniques
- 🚩 Capture The Flag: Educational CTF writeups and solutions
- 🛡️ Blue Team Operations: Security monitoring and automation
Philosophy
I believe in learning by doing. All content here emphasizes hands-on technical skills with step-by-step explanations. Whether you’re analyzing memory layouts for ROP chains or crafting prompt injection attacks, my goal is to make complex security concepts accessible through practical examples.
Connect
I’m always interested in collaborating on security research and discussing new techniques.
