Andrey Konovalov

Security researcher

About the speaker

Andrey focuses on the Linux kernel.

He found multiple zero‑day bugs in the Linux kernel and published proof‑of‑concept exploits to demonstrate their impact. Andrey is a contributor to several security‑related Linux kernel subsystems and tools: KASAN—a fast dynamic bug detector, syzkaller—a production‑grade kernel fuzzer, and Arm Memory Tagging Extension—an exploit mitigation feature.

Andrey spoke at security conferences such as OffensiveCon, Android Security Symposium, Linux Security Summit, LinuxCon North America, and PHDays.
