Maliq Barnard leads FARPSEC's vulnerability research and coordinates disclosure across Apple, HackerOne, and enterprise vendors. He specializes in macOS daemon exploitation, XPC/IPC auditing, and binary reverse engineering of system services. His research focuses on privilege escalation through symlink race conditions, entitlement validation regressions, and authentication bypass in macOS system daemons. He builds the lab's internal tooling — including the FARP and FALE analysis pipelines — and manages the end-to-end submission process from initial finding through coordinated disclosure.
