Mathy Vanhoef is a postdoctoral researcher at New York University Abu Dhabi. He is most well known for his KRACK attack against WPA2, and the RC4 NOMORE attack against RC4. His research interest is in computer security with a focus on network security, wireless security (e.g. Wi-Fi), network protocols, and applied cryptography. Currently his research is about analyzing security protocols and discovering (logical) vulnerabilities in their implementations. He also wants to learn more about how to (automatically) prove the correctness of protocol implementations. Apart from research, he's interested in low-level security, reverse engineering, and binary exploitation.
