Pwno

Pwno is a AI cybersecurity startup founded by two high-schoolers. It competes directly with Google Deepmind on the world's hardest cybersecurity problem: memory security. We find big, scary bugs in critical systems with AI.
We had been working on this question for around 8 months, from initaily just trying to harness gdb.

What we did

• We found and patched 6 memory vulnerabilities in FFmpeg in two days. The media decoder behind the internet, used by billions of people. (TikTok, YouTube)
• We found memory vulnerabilities in Chromium (Chrome by Google), Firefox (Mozilla), WebKit (Apple), Adobe within two weeks
• Our research was presented in Black Hat USA (Oscar for Cybersecurity), OAIC (Offensive AI conference backed by Google). (Notably the presenter spoke as the youngest speaker in history for both conference)
• Started by two high-schoolers (a security researcher, 16; a designer, 18), who been working on this field since 2023.

Here's a list of bugs we found,
and currently patched.
