Submission declined on 14 August 2024 by Jdcomix (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Jonathan Brossard also known under the username endrazine, is a French hacker, Engineer and Professor of computer science at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers[1]. He is best known as a pioneer in firmware cybersecurity, having presented the first public example of a Hardware backdoor[2]. The MIT Technology Review called it "undetectable and uncurable"[3]. He has presented multiple times at conferences such as Defcon[4] and Blackhat[5], as the Director of Security at Salesforce.
Security Research
editBitlocker Security
editIn 2008, Jonathan presented the first public vulnerability affecting full disk encryption software Microsoft Bitlocker[6] at Defcon. His generic exploit also affected other full disk encryption software such as Truecrypt [7], and BIOS firmware from Intel[8][9].
Hardware Backdooring
editIn 2012, Jonathan presented a Proof of Concept BIOS and PCI firmware malware [10] named Rakshasa[11], the first known[12] example of a permanent Hardware backdoor at Defcon and Blackhat[2][3][13]. The attack consisted in the inclusion of a Bootkit in firmware[14] either from the BIOS or Network cards[15].
Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Windows 10
editIn 2015, along with the security team at Salesforce, he presented at Blackhat the first public attacks against Microsoft Edge[16] and the Windows 10 operating system[17], allowing credential theft over the internet. Researchers discovered that Google Chrome was vulnerable to the very same Server Message Block vulnerability[18][19].
Witchcraft Compiler Collection
editJonathan is the main author of the Witchcraft Compiler Collection, a reverse engineering framework presented at major conferences including Defcon, Blackhat and USENIX[20]. This framework allowing to transform an ELF binary into a shared library is available on Linux distrubutions such as Debian, Ubuntu or the Kali Linux distribution[21].
Other Notable Research
editJonathan served as a security expert for major media outlets, for instance in the XKeyscore program[22][23] disclosed by Edward Snowden, mass surveillance programs[24], when the NSA allegedly hacked French President Nicolas Sarkozy's emails[25], or warning the industry about car hacking[26][27] as early as 2012.
Hacking Culture
editWatch Dogs I Video Game
editIn 2014 Jonathan was the main cybersecurity consultant to the Watch Dogs by Ubisoft, presenting the game to an international press audience in Chicago, with global coverage including Australia[26], Deutschland[28] , France[29][30] or Spain[31].
Watch Dogs II Video Game
editIn 2016, Jonathan was also the main consultant[32] of the second opus of the franchise Watch Dogs 2 and presented it to the international press[33][34].
Hakin9 bogus nmap article
editIn 2012, Jonathan, along with other top security researchers including Chris Valasek, Matt Suiche and Jon Oberheide submitted a bogus, computer generated article[35] on Nmap to the Hakin9 security magazine, as a way to protest against the constant spamming of top researchers by the magazine[36]. While the stunt was praised by hackers, the response of Hakin9, legally threatening fellow Nmap author Gordon Lyon was so terrible that it earned the Pwnie Awards for most epic fail in 2013.
Conference Organizer
editJonathan is the co-founder of international cybersecurity conferences Hackito Ergo Sum[37][38] and NoSuchCon[39][40][29]. He also sits on the review boards of the Shakacon (Honolulu, USA)[41] and Nullcon (Goa, India)[42] conferences.
