Stijn van den Dool

Security researcher and anti-cheat engineer

Stijn van den Dool is a security researcher and anti-cheat engineer working on game security, reverse engineering and detection. He is nineteen, and has spent five of those years inside other people's software.

The current work is defensive: anti-cheat and detection engineering, kernel-level development, machine learning applied to behavioural detection, and the front of the stack that has to carry it — software, frontend, interface and motion design. The offensive history is documented publicly because it is where the instinct came from, not because it is what he sells.

Published work includes Shroud, a correctness-first source-to-source obfuscator for Python, JavaScript and Lua that verifies its own output behaviourally, and a Lua anti-cheat running in production. Everything on stijn.tf is drawn from real repositories; nothing is embellished.

Work

The defensive side is the current work: anti-cheat and detection engineering, kernel-level development, and machine learning applied to behavioural detection. The offensive history is documented on the home page because it is where the instinct came from — a decade of taking other people's software apart is what makes the defensive half worth anything.

Published

Everything below is a real repository. No invented stars, no invented CVEs, no invented clients.

ShroudCode protection · Python, JavaScript, Lua · 2026
A multi-language source-to-source obfuscator for Python, JavaScript and Lua. It parses each language with a real frontend, applies scope-aware transformations, emits native source that still runs on the normal runtime, and behaviourally verifies the result.
ZyphWeb security tooling · Python · 2025
A compact web-security scanner that probes targets for the common vulnerability classes (LFI, open redirect, SQL injection, XSS and CRLF) with multi-threaded scanning and HTML reports.
WiFi Deauth ResearchWireless security research · Python · 2026
Authorised wireless research into 802.11 deauthentication. Demonstrates why unprotected management frames on poorly-secured networks are a design weakness, and why Protected Management Frames exist.
STYNSecurity automation · Python · 2025
A private website-analysis utility: it extracts hidden URLs, inspects security headers and SSL details, detects open ports, and fingerprints web technologies.
StynSortAlgorithm visualiser · Python · 2025
A Pygame visualiser for custom-designed sorting algorithms, rendering datasets of up to 100,000 elements sampled into 10,000 bars in real time.
maq4Defensive simulation · Batchfile · 2022
An educational simulation of file-encryption malware behaviour, designed to run only inside an isolated lab on non-sensitive sample files. For awareness and defensive learning, never deployment.
