Welcome to my website!

I am Zhiniang Peng (彭峙酿). Now I am the Principal Security Researcher and  Chief Architect of at Sangfor.

My main research area is cyber security, includes applied cryptography, software security, threat hunting and cloud security. I have plenty of experience in both offensive and defensive security and published many research in both academia and industry. I am also a bug hunter in my free time. I have helped Microsoft, Intel, Aodbe and other vendors fix hundreds of vulnerabilities, including PrintNightmare, ZeroLogon, IIS RCE, EOS RCE and other vulnerabilities that have significant influence in the industry. Also I once had ranked #1 on the MSRC most valuable security researcher list for three consecutive quarters.

I started learning cybersecurity when I was a middle school student (Since 2003) and started taking part-time job on cybersecurity when I was a high school student. I did B.E. in material science in South China University of Technology (SCUT) from 2009 to 2013. After that I return to cybersecurity. I get my Ph.D degree in Post-Quantum Cryptography in SCUT from 2013 to 2017. After that I joined Qihoo 360 Core Security and work there as an security researcher for about 3 year. Now I am the Principal Security Researcher and  Principal Architect of at Sangfor.
