Research

My research focuses on software and Internet security, including vulnerability discovery and mitigation, as well as how software is being deployed and used, and how it affects security on the Internet. That is, I work on improving the security and privacy of networked software systems. I also work on identifying and preventing large-scale Internet abuse, discovering and defending against new attacks (such as on network applications or enabled by network and protocol interactions), and developing techniques to conduct security-relevant measurements (like enabling Internet-wide measurements for IPv6; or, investigating how new security features affect the Internet). Sometimes, I dabble in related topics, like understanding security misconfigurations, or governance and policy.
