Founded in 2009 by Peter Van Eeckhoutte, Corelan Team was a group of IT Security researchers/enthusiasts/professionals/hobbyists who shared the same interests, mainly focused on 3 things : Research : The team enjoyed working together to perform all kinds of security research, ranging from finding vulnerabilities and working with vendors/developers to get them fixed, over developing and documenting exploitation techniques to writing tools & exploits to support community security frameworks such as Metasploit. Education : The team insisted on sharing findings and knowledge with others. One of the results of our team work are the Corelan Exploit Development tutorials which have been published on this website over the last few years. In addition to this, we operated a forum and the #corelan channel on Freenode IRC. Those resources don't exist anymore, but Corelan operates a free Discord Server now. Feel free to drop by and don’t be shy to ask questions. If we can answer and help, we certainly wil. Fun : Yes, of course just enjoyed ourselves and having fun was a main driver. Doing all of the above is a lot of fun already, but we also enjoyed joining forces and play wargames, public CTFs, etc. We were not some kind of shady underground ‘gang’ The team mainly consistsed of people who were (most of them still are) involved with cybersecurity in their professional lives. While part of Corelan Team, some of our former and current members got jobs at well known and well respected IT security related companies such as Rapid7, Tenable, ESET, Stratsec, Immunity Inc., iDefense, Boeing, Campofrio Food Group, Apollo Group. Some of them are now well-respected vulnerability researchers and professional bug hunters.While those jobs are not related or affiliated with Corelan in any way (nor was landing the job the result of being a member of Corelan Team), we are very proud on what our members have achieved individually. To a certain extent, it adds to the high standards, ethics, quality and reputation of our team. Ethics Corelan Team has always been a firm believer in responsible disclosure as a non-profit team, and consists of security professionals and enthusiasts around the world with high-standard ethics. We condemn illegal activities related to computer hacking, and we will take appropriate actions if anyone in our territory is involved, or intends to be in such unlawful matters (ie. on Discord).Our tools, live trainings, and tutorials are created for the sole purpose of security awareness and education. We certainly do not encourage our readers/users/students/members to do harms with the knowledge they receive. Where is Corelan Team today? Corelan Team is no longer active. This website is kept alive and funded by corelanc0d3r. New content is mainly written by corelanc0d3r and some outside authors. If you would like to help funding the hosting cost of this website, please consider buying Corelan branded merchandise, or donating.
