Nebula Security on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Nebula Security is founded by the world’s #1 hacking team. We were the first team to build an nginx RCE and the first to root Android 17. Our co-founders include members of the world’s No. 1 CTF team, DEF CON winners, Black Hat speakers, and PhD in cybersecurity. We have won $400K in bug bounties by exploiting the Linux kernel and Chrome browser. “Audited by Nebula Security” is a mark of serious security credibility: a signal to customers, investors, and partners that your product has been reviewed by the world’s best hackers.
