Ben Risher

I am an Offensive Security Engineer and lead ExploitAI, a small team of multi-disciplined engineers operating at the intersection of Security, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. My team and I use our combined skills to assess Salesforce's models, products, and features to identify and help mitigate technical, reputational, and legal risk.

Before coming to Salesforce, I was engaged in zeroday research and reverse engineering with focuses on fuzzing, symbolic execution, and llvm/compiler internals. Additionally, I've spent time red teaming, both as an operator and a tool developer. I also was an instructor, teaching a six month long cybersecurity course for United States Air Force personnel. Alongside day-to-day work, I enjoy giving back to the security community via open source development. I've contributed code to many open source projects such as the metasploit framework, exploit-db, and LibAFL. I'm also the author of feroxbuster, a popular offensive security tool designed to unearth hidden/unlink content on websites.

I'm either spending time with my family or exercising.
