Spring '25 TinyC-Compiler Backdoor

Small project inspired by a speech given by Ken Thompson, one of the fathers of the Unix OS, upon recieving the ACM Turing Award.

Because a C compiler written in C can be compiled by itsself, it is a sort of quine (self reproducing program) and a backdoor can be inserted such that compilations of clean source code with a compiler compiled with a bugged compiler will insert a hidden backdoor into the resulting binary that is invisible in the source. (I know - too many compilers)

• Successfully inserted login backdoor into TinyC-Compiler
• Propagated bug through subsequent compilations of clean TinyCC with bugged compiler - making the backdoor hidden and persistent.

• Git (source) : github.com/DomaDude123/TinyC-Compiler-Backdoor
• C- Bash- Git- GDB- Security

spare time Self Hosting/Tinkering

Self hosting has always been a topic that interested me. I hope to expand my self hosting lab in the future as I gain more control over the network my devices run on.

Alot of my tinkering made use of a old computer that I imaged with headless Debian Linux for use as a Homeserver/NAS.

• Deployed Wireguard VPN to allow whitelisted clients to access certain network devices remotely.
• Used Bitwarden for a locally hosted password manager.
• Configured Pi-hole as a local DNS (just for my machines) to block unwanted internet traffic.
• Hosted a Minecraft server allowing whitelisted VPN users to connect from other networks.

Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Dominick - a rising senior Computer Science student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with an interest in cybersecurity. I'm from western Long Island, just east of New York City. I enjoy participating in capture-the-flag competitions and learning about ethical hacking.

Outside of my technical hobbies, I enjoy hiking, tennis, and video games. I've also recently been trying to get into bouldering - despite my fear of heights. I have a Labradoodle named Cooper.
