Kauz Security Services

Abstract

Hi there! My name is Dominik Muhs, and I'm the person behind Kauz Security Services. I have a deep passion for smart contract security, penetration tests, and software development in general. I perform security services independently and through Creed, which I'm a founding member of.

What I can do

I can perform code reviews on smart contracts written in Solidity. Thanks to my background in backend engineering, I am confident reviewing code written in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Golang.

I have performed numerous black box and grey box penetration tests as a security engineer. Clients often combine a smart contract code review with a black box penetration test of their off-chain infrastructure.

Lastly, I have helped a handful of clients with threat models around their existing infrastructure. Beyond that, I have also helped them create individualized operational security guidelines to minimize the risks they face as high-net-worth individuals.

How to contact me

If you are looking to get in touch, feel free to contact me at [email protected]. Myself, or my assistant will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

Previous work of mine

I have performed numerous code reviews, penetration tests, and general work around operational security guidelines and incident response playbooks. In this section, I list my most recent engagements. Publicly available reports are linked. Clients for which an NDA is in effect are omitted.
