Nikola Pavlović

Software Development Manager · PhD in Blockchain & IoT Security · Security Tooling Engineer

Belgrade, Serbia — building open-source browser security tools that respect your privacy.

LinkedIn Dev.to Twitter


Research background

PhD thesis: "Increasing Security and Privacy by Integrating a Secure Blockchain Interface into IoT Architecture" — Singidunum University, Belgrade.

The core question: how do you build trustless, tamper-proof communication between constrained IoT devices without relying on a central authority? The Foil suite is a practical continuation of that work — applied to the browser layer.


What I'm building — Foil Security Suite

A protective layer between you and the threat.


FoilGuard
FoilGuard
🟢 Phase 1 · Active


Chrome extension that blocks domain impersonation before the page loads — typosquatting, homoglyphs, digit substitution, combosquatting. Enterprise MDM policy, audit log. No API key, nothing leaves the browser.
FoilLab
FoilLab
🟡 Phase 2 · Building


Weekly network and IoT CTF challenge platform. Every challenge ships with a write-up — pcap analysis, firmware reversing, log forensics.
FoilVault
FoilVault
🟣 Phase 3 · Planned


Zero-knowledge browser password manager. Blocks autofill on suspicious domains via FoilGuard integration — the only manager that checks before it fills.
