James Kettle is Head of Research at PortSwigger Web Security, where he designs and refines vulnerability detection techniques for Burp Suite's scanner. Recent work has focused on techniques to detect unknown classes of vulnerabilities, and break into internal networks by exploiting reverse proxies with malformed requests. James has extensive experience cultivating novel attack techniques, including server-side RCE via Template Injection, client-side RCE via malicious formulas in CSV exports, and abusing the HTTP Host header to poison password reset emails and server-side caches. He has spoken at numerous prestigious venues including both Black Hat USA and Europe, and OWASP AppSec USA and EU.
