Adversarial research.
Coordinated disclosure.
Dagger Forge is the vulnerability research arm of CyberDagger LLC. We hunt novel zero-days in commercial security products, enterprise infrastructure, and federal-relevant software, then run coordinated disclosure on a 90-day clock. No brokers. No selling. Vendor-first, every time.
225+ findings, in the open.
Veteran-owned offensive security research. Real zero-days in commercial security products, enterprise infrastructure, and federal-relevant software, discovered with tooling we built ourselves. Vendor and product details are withheld during active disclosure windows; technical writeups publish once each window closes.

Four research tracks. One disclosure path.
Dagger Forge runs four parallel research tracks, each suited to a different target class. Pipeline, models, and training data all in-house. Every finding is routed through dynamic validation against the actual product before it counts as real.
Coverage-Guided Fuzzing
Continuous fuzzing of open-source components, SDKs, and libraries that ship inside vendor products. Dedicated research compute runs long-horizon corpus development against high-value targets.
Firmware Extraction & Emulation
Routers, IoT devices, IP cameras, and embedded systems. Custom emulation against vendor-specific architectures and bootloader chains, where stock tooling stops working.
Closed-Source Reverse Engineering
Endpoint security agents, VPN clients, and proprietary management software. Industry-grade reverse engineering inside an air-gapped research environment, then dynamic validation against the live product.
Taint Analysis & Static Review
Source code where available: open-source components and customer-provided code under engagement scope. Combined with deterministic toolchain output for high-confidence findings.
What we ship into the public record.
Each disclosure publishes in the same format: root cause, attack scenario, patched version, timeline. No exploitation details. No proof-of-concept code in public.
Three ways to put the pipeline under contract.
Pricing is per-engagement and tiered by portfolio scope. Federal SDVOSB set-aside contracts welcomed. Reach out for a scoping conversation.
Targeted Vendor Audit
Single-target deep dive. We pick the pipeline tracks that fit the artifact and deliver findings with reproductions and remediation guidance.
- One vendor product or firmware image
- Fixed scope, fixed fee
- Coordinated disclosure handled by us
Quarterly Research Retainer
Ongoing research against a defined product portfolio. Quarterly findings reports plus immediate notification on critical findings.
- Defined product list under continuous scope
- Quarterly cadence + critical-finding fast lane
- Severity-weighted bonus on critical findings
Pre-Disclosure Subscription
For organizations that depend on specific vendor stacks. Receive findings affecting your products 60 days before public disclosure.
- Advance access to validated findings
- Patch-management lead time
- Per-vendor pricing
Schedule a scoping call.
If you ship a security product, run mission-critical infrastructure, or oversee a federal cyber program, we should talk. 30-minute scoping call, no obligation.
