Anthony Tropeano

Security Engineer | Network Defense, Secure Infrastructure, and Automation

I design, build, and operate Linux infrastructure, network security appliances, and web applications. My work includes deployment automation, applied cryptography, and controls for coding agents. I also research and author engineering standards that turn security requirements into implementation and verification criteria.

I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Arizona's Cyber Operations program in December 2025. I now study full time toward an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence with a Data Science concentration at Nova Southeastern University.

Current work

  • VUTM provides the network security plane for DIS-Computer, a Linux virtualization platform with automated provisioning, hardening, and backups. It protects KVM and LXC networks with shared DNS, threat filtering, and Suricata inspection. I operate it daily in IDS mode; inline blocking remains pending.
  • Agentic Engineering Harness checks commands and filesystem access before Claude Code or Codex executes them. Malware inspection, secret filtering, ownership checks, and change receipts support safer development and review.
  • TrashScanner is a live offline-first progressive web application (PWA) for Defend I.T. Solutions. It turns product scans into shopping lists across phones, desktops, and USB-scanner kiosks. Ordered synchronization preserves offline changes, while device signatures and database ownership checks protect account resources.

Public work: Lucerna · SIGINT · SAFE-PC · O-Tether case study

Published Rust projects

  • 0xDL: Rust library for asynchronous downloads with cryptographic integrity checks.
  • pveauto: Rust library and command-line tool that downloads Proxmox VE ISO images and verifies their integrity.

Systems and research

  • threads-kernel: Implements scheduling, synchronization, IPC, interrupt handling, system calls, and disk I/O in C for the THREADS teaching framework.
  • Co-authored “Investigating Covert IPC in THREADS” for Cyber Recon '25.
