Jacob Holcomb

Jacob Holcomb works as a Security Analyst for Independent Security Evaluators. At ISE, Jacob works on projects that involve penetration testing, application security, network security, and exploit research and development. Jacob has been the principal researcher on several pieces of ISE research, including the landmark publication SOHOpelessly Broken, which discovered over 50 new 0-day vulnerabilities in network routers and served as the foundation for the first-ever router hacking contest at DEFCON. Jacob is a highly regarded speaker, presenting at security conferences such as BlackHat USA, BlackHat Europe, DEFCON, DerbyCon, BSidesDC, and many others. In addition to projects at work, coding, and his favorite pastime of EIP hunting, Jacob loves to hack his way through the interwebz and has responsibly disclosed dozens of 0-day vulnerabilities in commercial products and services.
