한정현
System & Software Security, OS / Kernel

I am an aspiring security engineer who enjoys taking programs apart and digging beneath the surface to uncover what is hidden within. I especially enjoy reverse engineering — piecing together clues in code and memory to reconstruct how a program works, much like solving a mystery.

Experience

Oct.2025. ~ Apr.2027.(Expected)
Cryptographic Specialist, ROK Army
  • Operate, maintain, and diagnose military-grade cryptographic devices to ensure high-reliability secure communications
  • Maintain and update cryptographic key-injection software and software-based data encryption systems
Sep.2024. ~ Dec.2024.
Software Development Intern, Samsung Electronics DS Auto AP S/W Team
  • Refactored and tested newly implemented functionality in an in-house C watchdog driver (s3c2410_wdt-based) for automotive SoC BSP Linux kernels
  • Traced low-level kernel timing logic to fix bugs found during testing, including a watchdog timeout calculation error
Jan.2024. ~ Sep.2024.
Undergraduate Research Assistant, System Security Lab, Hanyang University
  • Researched Use-After-Free (UAF) mitigation in dynamic allocation — FRRmalloc, a one-time-allocation allocator building on the ffmalloc design
  • Analyzed ptmalloc2/ffmalloc internals and benchmarked FRRmalloc vs. ffmalloc memory overhead with the allocation-intensive Cfrac workload
Feb.2023. ~ Nov.2023.
Undergraduate Research Assistant, Software Security Lab, Hanyang University
  • Applied angr-based symbolic execution to cross-platform (C/C#/Delphi/Go) malware analysis (NSRI-funded project)
  • Built a Python module to dump Windows process memory and feed the state into angr (see Projects below)
