Allen Householder is a Senior Vulnerability & Incident Researcher at the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC). He has been involved in internet security since his first professional job in 1995, where a few weeks after starting at a Fortune 500 company he was told “You’re the IP & DNS guy” and shortly thereafter was given responsibility for the corporate firewall. His recent work includes being the technical lead developer for the CERT Basic Fuzzing Framework (BFF) and Failure Observation Engine (FOE), and research into the (in)security of the Internet of Things. His research interests include applications of machine learning to software and system security, fuzzing, and modeling of information sharing and trust among Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs).
