Boan developed and enhanced security scanning and IP address processing tools across the projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates and projectdiscovery/mapcidr repositories. He created CVE-aware detection templates in Go and YAML to identify directory traversal and reflected XSS vulnerabilities, embedding remediation guidance and validation logic to improve vulnerability analysis. In mapcidr, Boan addressed bugs in IPv4 zero-padding and IP range conversion, ensuring correct subnet mask appending and accurate handling of IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. His work emphasized reliability, maintainability, and data quality, with thorough updates to tests and alignment with repository standards, demonstrating depth in Go programming, networking, and security research over the three-month period.

September 2025 (projectdiscovery/mapcidr): Focused on correctness and reliability of IP range handling. The main deliverable was a bug fix to IP Address Range Conversion that ensures correct subnet mask appending for IPv4 (/32) and IPv6 (/128) and improves handling of IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses, preventing misclassification in IP range processing. The fix is tracked in commit 76ed959409b5e613b50ccee120bfd09dff7fd8f2 with message 'Fixed IP Address Conversion Issue'.
