Hi there 👋

Email: maximxlssoff@gmail.com Telegram: @maximxlss

You have stumbled onto my personal README. Here you can learn more about who I am and what I do, if you're interested.

Besides, you can contact me using any of the ways listed above, feel free to do so! I'm open to invitations and other opportunities.

Areas of interest

  1. 🛡️Infosec / CTF : I'm a member of WWF World Wide Flags (top 50 worldwide), also LCD, historically also xls team and sometimes in other teams, specializing in cryptography/math/PPC/Rust. See my writeups over on writeups.xls.msk.ru
    Interested in developing CTF tasks of my specialization or doing vulnerability research. Feel free to reach out!
  2. 🔒Systems programming : Interested in all kinds of systems programming, I'm (slowly) working on implementing a firmware for a electronic badge, a language interpreter and a hobby operating system. I would love to get into developing operating systems, interpreters/compilers, formal verification software or even hardware!
  3. 📖Infosec education : Sometimes I teach CTF cryptography! You might find some recordings of my lectures (they probably are in Russian currently) over on my Youtube channel. If you need that kind of service, let me know!
  4. 🕹️Games : I play different genres, but love indie puzzles the most. Some of my favourite games are: To the moon series, Outer Wilds, SIGNALIS. Also Tetr.io S- rank, osu! 2493pp.
  5. 🔍Algorithmic programming : previously active at Codeforces and in Russian olympiads. Achieved a 2nd award in the Moscow olympiad for school students.
  6. 🧑‍💻Coding : I would consider invites for project and hackathons, you can see samples of my code here on Github (not the best of my code, honestly, but better than nothing)

Some of my skills

  • Programming: 🥇Python, 🥈Rust, 🥉Go, Kotlin
  • Language: native Russian, B2 - Upper Intermediate English, starting to learn Japanese!
  • Cryptography: Familiar with all the common cryptosystems, lattice based cryptanalysis, differential cryptanalysis.
  • CTF besides cryptography: basic pwn techniques, networking, fuzzing, debugging, static binary analysis.
  • Algorithms: dynamic programming, binary trees, sorting, asymptotic analysis, all the basic stuff.
  • Linux, Docker, basic deploy stuff.
