Offensive security
Identify and validate weaknesses through penetration testing, WAPT, and vulnerability assessment.
SECURITY THROUGH UNDERSTANDING
Think like an
attacker.
Build a stronger
defence.
I’m Antonio, a cybersecurity engineer connecting offensive security, secure systems, and AI-driven research. Based in Italy. Built on curiosity.

RESEARCH PAPER 2025—2026
Teaching machines
to build cyber ranges.
A systematic study of LLM-assisted generation of intentionally vulnerable container environments for security research and training.
The study evaluates six LLMs and compares service-based and web application scenarios, package and source builds, and single-container and Docker Compose deployments. The evaluation spans 22 vulnerabilities and 44 generation attempts.
