PROFILE

Vladislav Kutumov

Worked on the tempesta-tech/tempesta repository to enhance TLS stability, client fingerprinting, and traffic management over a three-month period. Focused on hardening ALPN handling and ClientHello parsing in C, introducing guard checks to prevent null-pointer dereferences and reduce handshake failures. Delivered features for JA5-based filtering and rate limiting across TLS and HTTP, unifying configuration and extending access logs for improved security analytics. Applied targeted code formatting and quality improvements to the TLS subsystem, emphasizing maintainability and reliability. Leveraged skills in C programming, network protocols, and TLS/SSL to deliver safer, more observable, and operationally efficient network proxy functionality.

Jan 1, 2025

January 2025 highlights for the tempesta project: Delivered JA5-based filtering across TLS and HTTP with rate limiting and unified configuration, and extended access logs to capture JA5T/JA5H values for security analytics. Implemented a unified JA5 filtering code path to support multiple JA5 types, enabling easier maintenance and future expansion. Fixed JA5t ALPN field calculation to ensure accurate TLS session handling and protocol negotiation. These changes improve security visibility, reliability, and operational efficiency, delivering measurable business value through better traffic control and analytics.
