I break things responsibly. Independent security researcher focused on web application vulnerabilities — XSS, IDOR, GraphQL, and beyond. Active on Intigriti. Based in Germany.
I'm Fernando Ortlieb, an independent security researcher with a background in engineering and a passion for understanding how systems break.
I approach bug bounty hunting the way a good engineer approaches a problem — methodically, with documentation, and with an honest assessment of what I find and don't find. Negative results are results too.
My current focus is web application security: mapping attack surfaces, testing GraphQL APIs, analyzing WAF behavior, and hunting for authentication and authorization flaws.
Open to collaboration, responsible disclosure discussions, or just talking about web security. Reach me through any of the channels below.
All vulnerability findings are reported through the Intigriti platform within program rules. Do not contact me regarding undisclosed vulnerabilities outside of official channels.
