Arnau Gàmez i Montolio
Hey there! 👋
I'm Arnau, a Catalan hacker, security researcher and mathematician with a strong bias towards software security and reverse engineering.
Specialized in software protection research and development (obfuscation, cryptography, mixed boolean-arithmetic algebra, inverse mappings, etc.) from a dual attack-and-defense perspective both in academia and industry. I also have vast experience as a malware analyst in the antivirus sector and security engineer in the gaming industry.
I'm the founder of Fura Labs, a boutique security firm and consultancy focused on software protection research and education. Speaker and trainer at several international security conferences.
