Nico Albanese
@nicoalbanese
Security researcher in Bugcrowd and HackerOne programs who developed open-source pentesting tools and automated reconnaissance pipelines.
ArgentinaWhat I'm looking for
In Bugcrowd and HackerOne programs, I had a finding accepted as valid in TheFork's program for PII exposure via a GraphQL query, and received a bounty recognized by PayPal's Checkout campaign.
I developed Phantom Brain, an open-source offline pentesting framework that uses local AI to analyze WiFi, NFC, Sub-GHz, and RFID captures. It includes a Flask REST API, SQLite persistence, and a typed tool architecture.
I also developed Bounty Hunter Pipeline, an automated reconnaissance pipeline that chains security tools and uses Ollama to prioritize results. Its testing infrastructure includes a Raspberry Pi 4B, Tailscale, Kali Linux, and systemd-managed VPN rotation.
My infrastructure automation project runs services 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi 4, with network failover, monitoring, and automated backups. I also work as a Clinical Neurophysiology Technician at Hospital Argerich, CEMIC and other centers, analyzing neurological tracings and operating precision equipment.
