An independent offensive-security collective. Founded in 2018, operated by named humans, accountable to the people whose products we break.

I started ExploitStation in 2018 because the offensive-security market had drifted toward vendor theater: glossy reports, shallow findings, and very little of the actual work. The buyers I spoke with — CISOs, AppSec leads, the occasional general counsel — were paying for evidence and receiving PowerPoint.

We built this firm to be the opposite. Every researcher here has shipped a CVE they can name. Every red-team operator has worked a multi-quarter engagement where the goal was to break something specific and write up exactly how it broke. We refuse work that would have us rubber-stamp a checkbox; we refuse to publish a 0-day outside the agreed disclosure window; and we refuse to call ourselves "unbreakable" or to claim we can prevent the next zero-day — because the next zero-day is the entire reason our discipline exists.

What we will do is tell you, on the page and in person, how your products break. We will hand you a reproducible proof-of-concept, a timeline, and a defense. Our median client tenure is 2.7 years because the people who hire us once tend to hire us again — and we are accountable to that trust.

If that is the kind of partner you are looking for, the operators below are who you would actually be working with.
