Pathak and team maintain a comprehensive database of threats prevalent in the wild and built an automated live testing infrastructure that runs with minimal supervision. Along with NSS Labs Researcher Mohamed Saher, he also built an exploit-hunting tool -- BaitNET -- which gathers real-time intelligence on these exploits.
