About me

I’m a second year graduate student in Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley. I am advised by Prof. Dawn Song. Before coming to Berkeley, I finished my B.S. degree in Computer Science in Peking University. Also I did some research as an undergraduate student at PKU ICST. I am also a full member of the Honeynet Project.

Here is my CV

Research Interests

My current research focuses on software reliability and program analysis for security applications.

A list of key words describing my previous research topics and projects: malware, honeypots, IDS, drive-by downloads, web browser, vulnerability, program analysis, system and network security…

Misc

I’ve been working on PHoneyC, a virtual client honeypot for web-based malware (AKA. Drive-by Downloads) detection and analysis.

Here is my availability every day.

I created an RSS bundle about what’s happening in the security academia, including most of the professors doing research on security topics and some of their students. The link is here. The initial version of this bundle is based on Zhiqiang’s list, and also this one and this one. Feel free to send me more links you want to include in this bundle.
