Hamed Kohi
Biography
My name is Hamed Kohi, an Afghan-Canadian cybersecurity professional with expertise in hacking,
programming, vulnerability research, and advanced malware analysis. Over the years, I have cultivated a
passion for discovering and responsibly disclosing vulnerabilities in widely used open-source systems,
contributing to the global effort of strengthening cybersecurity.
I am dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the cybersecurity community by mentoring aspiring
researchers, continuously learning new techniques, and hunting vulnerabilities for both personal growth
and professional excellence. My work emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and practical solutions to
modern security challenges.
I began my journey in cybersecurity in 2020 in Kabul, Afghanistan, and have since evolved my expertise
after immigrating to Canada in 2022. Canada has provided a nurturing environment for my research and has
allowed me to delve deeper into vulnerability analysis, exploit development, and red team operations. My
contributions, including identifying critical vulnerabilities and developing tailored security
solutions, demonstrate my commitment to excellence and innovation in this ever-evolving field.
