About Sebastien

Independent pentester based in Sophia Antipolis, I test the security of your systems before someone else does.

Web applications, internal/external infrastructures, Active Directory, Purple Team, I look for vulnerabilities, I exploit them, I show you the real impact, and I help you fix them.

What I offer:
🔴 Web penetration tests, XSS, injections, unrestricted uploads, business logic, REST APIs
🔴 Infrastructure penetration tests, network scanning, privilege escalation, lateral movement, AD compromise
🔴 Phishing campaigns, practical awareness training, realistic scenarios, clear metrics
🔴 Purple Team, I work with your defensive teams to improve real-time detection
🔴 Physical security audit, physical penetration tests, access control assessment, video surveillance, intrusion detection. I know these systems from the inside.

What sets me apart:
→ Certified CPTS, CRTA, CAPE, practical certifications, not multiple-choice questions
→ +10 years in B2B customer relations before cybersecurity, my reports are readable by a CISO or a manager
→ I work in co-contracting with Hackmosphere, which allows me to scale up for larger missions
→ Dual logical + physical skill, I know how to bypass a badge as well as an Active Directory.

Deliverables:
Structured report with CVSS scoring, exploitation proofs, prioritized remediation plan. No generic PDF, each report is contextualized to your environment.

Un pentester rigoureux et pédagogue - Home electronique concept

Reviewed on 6/8/2026

I had the opportunity to collaborate with Sébastien on a pentest mission and I can only recommend his work. The quality-price ratio is excellent. Services are performed with seriousness, rigor, and professionalism, while remaining accessible. The provided report is particularly well-structured: detailed enough for technical teams, with concrete and actionable recommendations for developers, but also written in clear and understandable language for those not initiated in cybersecurity. The vulnerability presentation is educational, without unnecessary jargon, and allows for a quick understanding of the stakes, associated risks, and corrective actions to be implemented. Exchanges are fluid, deadlines are met, and the overall quality of deliverables is as expected. An effective, professional, and suitable penetration testing service for both decision-makers and technical teams. I recommend without hesitation.

We hired Sébastien to conduct a security audit (pentest) of our infrastructure and are very satisfied with the service. His approach was rigorous, methodical, and perfectly adapted to our needs. He identified several vulnerabilities that we had not detected internally and provided us with a clear, detailed, and actionable report, along with concrete recommendations to strengthen our security level. Throughout the mission, communication was fluid and professional. Sébastien also took the time to explain his findings and answer our questions, which facilitated the implementation of fixes. We highly recommend his services to any company wishing to assess and improve the security of its information systems. An efficient, serious, and high-value collaboration.
