Receiving some awards just isn’t going to feel good. Ask CrowdStrike president Michael Sentonas, who took the stage at the security industry's Pwnie Awards to accept an oversized trophy for the Most Epic Fail. The fail, of course, being CrowdStrike’s ill-fated software update that triggered a global IT meltdown. “Definitely not the award to be proud of receiving,” Sentonas gamely said to an appreciative crowd.

Hullo! It's me @munmap and you may remember me from such pretentious competitions as Mobile #Pwn2Own 2016, 2017, and 2018, as well as Desktop Pwn2Own 2018.
I even got a #Pwnie once for taking the piss with Samsung and chaining 12 second-rate bugs into a one-click APK install on their Galaxy S8. We may have also crossed paths at #SyScan, #Kiwicon, #Infiltrate, #ZeroNights, #ekoparty, #CanSecWest, etc.

I've been hacking (trying?) for over 10 years and I've been fascinated with #fuzzing, VR tooling, and general bug hunting for as long as I can remember.

I recently left (yet another) defence contractor and now I work for a small, tight-knit UK-based company called Interrupt Labs. We focus on VR and XD for a broad range of targets such as browsers, mobile platforms, embedded, automotive, and everything in between. :-)
