Furkan Alp Günay
@furkanalpgnay
Offensive Security Engineer building production security platforms and offensive tooling.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Computer Engineering undergraduate and offensive-security practitioner with 3+ years across web application penetration testing, Active Directory, reverse engineering, and binary exploitation. I’m ranked in the global Top 1% on TryHackMe, and I bring hands-on depth across the full attack lifecycle.
I design and ship production security platforms end-to-end—like FOOTHOLD (foothold.tools), which indexes 100+ exploitation techniques and 35+ port playbooks, and VULNARENA (vulnarena.com), an AI-powered “find the vulnerability, write the fix” training platform with hardened sandboxing and per-user ephemeral Kubernetes labs. Alongside this, I build offensive tooling other practitioners use (e.g., nmap2pwn, toktop) and perform authorized vulnerability research on HackerOne and Bugcrowd.
