Making automated vulnerability discovery safe by design.

I'm Ishan Uprety — a cybersecurity & networking researcher building automated vulnerability-discovery systems where the safety constraints are part of the architecture, not an afterthought.

What I work on

Automation that can find security flaws is powerful and dual-use. My work focuses on the part most tools skip: building the rails — authorization gating, scope enforcement, blast-radius limits, kill-switches, and tamper-evident audit — so that a discovery system cannot act outside what it's allowed to do. This is the subject of my Master's thesis and the research system behind it.

Highlights

RESEARCH SYSTEM

Warren — safety-railed discovery pipeline

A research pipeline where discovery logic is subordinate to a non-bypassable enforcement layer. Built and evaluated against authorized lab targets only.
