Reverence Cyber delivers offensive security services — reverse engineering, vulnerability research, penetration testing, and red teaming — to government and defense clients where failure is not an option.
Reverence Cyber is a veteran-owned offensive security firm based in Dayton, Ohio. We identify vulnerabilities, develop proof-of-concept exploits, and harden defenses across government and private-sector environments. Our work spans Windows internals, embedded systems, weapon system components, and enterprise networks — wherever the threat surface demands deep technical skill.
With over a decade of combined public- and private-sector experience, Reverence Cyber specializes in reverse engineering, vulnerability research, penetration testing, and red teaming for clients who operate in high-consequence environments.
We augment and sharpen existing security teams through hands-on engagements and technical training. Every engagement is designed to leave your organization more capable — not more dependent on outside support.
Systematic disassembly and analysis of software, firmware, and embedded systems — including Windows kernel drivers and weapon system components — to expose hidden vulnerabilities and undocumented behavior.
Targeted research to discover exploitable weaknesses before adversaries do. Includes zero-day discovery, root-cause analysis, and proof-of-concept exploit development.
Full-scope penetration testing that replicates real-world attack chains to validate security controls, identify detection gaps, and stress-test incident response procedures.
Adversarial operations conducted under realistic threat conditions to evaluate organizational security posture, detection coverage, and response effectiveness — end to end.
Static and dynamic analysis of malicious software — from commodity ransomware to nation-state implants — to characterize threats, extract indicators, and inform defensive countermeasures.
Technical training in penetration testing, malware analysis, and exploit development — structured to build lasting capability within your team, not just check a compliance box.
Our team holds industry-recognized offensive security certifications — the kind that are earned through demonstrated skill, not purchased.
Delivered reverse engineering and red teaming services for the U.S. Department of Energy under subcontract to ClearFocus Technologies, strengthening the security posture of critical infrastructure systems.
Analyzed hundreds of malware samples across government and private-sector engagements, identified a previously undocumented ransomware group, and developed multiple proof-of-concept exploits that drove measurable improvements in client defenses.
Performed vulnerability research on embedded systems within U.S. Air Force weapon system platforms, producing findings that directly improved security posture in high-stakes operational environments.
Designed and delivered hands-on penetration testing and malware analysis training for military cyber operators, achieving a 100% certification pass rate across all participants.
Performed firmware extraction, disassembly, and vulnerability research on a commercial UAS platform, including analysis of flight controller firmware and embedded subsystems to identify exploitable weaknesses in safety-critical components.
Conducted firmware security research on a utility-scale energy storage system, reversing embedded Linux and DSP subsystems, auditing industrial protocol implementations (IEC 61850, Modbus), and identifying credential and certificate vulnerabilities with direct implications for grid stability.

Cybercriminals continue to employ sophisticated tactics intended to evade traditional Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), while maintaining a low profile and limiting the noise created by these activities. A recent…
I performed root cause analysis for a vulnerability found in Okta Verify for Windows in versions prior to 4.10.7 and thought I would share some of the details.
I recently completed an iOS mobile application capture the flag challenge created by Corellium and I wanted to briefly share my analysis and thoughts on it.
