Zion Boggan

Security researcher · SOC analyst · Bug bounty hunter · artemispwns1 on HackerOne and Bugcrowd

Zion Boggan is a security researcher and bug bounty hunter on HackerOne and Bugcrowd under the handle artemispwns1. His focus areas are web application security, authentication bypass, and access control flaws. Oversight started from years of watching public data breaches unfold in real time and realizing that every one of them shared the same gap: once a confidential document left the sender's hands, there was no reliable way to trace it back to the specific recipient who leaked it. That observation turned into a protocol.

Oversight is his primary research project. It is an open protocol for cryptographic data provenance, recipient attribution, and leak detection, built because the existing options are all insufficient. DRM is proprietary and brittle. C2PA has no watermarking. Metadata-based provenance disappears the moment someone strips the metadata. Oversight combines authenticated encryption, three-layer watermarking, and transparency logging into a single open spec, implemented in both Python and Rust, released under Apache 2.0, and targeting USENIX Security 2026.

Outside of Oversight, Zion programs in Python and Rust, runs a self-hosted Proxmox homelab with local GPU inference and WireGuard VPN, and builds offensive security tooling. All of Oversight's development and testing runs on that homelab infrastructure, against real deployment conditions rather than sanitized CI environments.

AI Co-Authorship

Oversight is co-authored with Claude Opus 4.6 and 4.7, Anthropic's large language models. Claude contributes across the full stack: protocol design, cryptographic implementation, Rust and Python code, documentation, website content, and technical writing. Zion directs the architecture, makes all design decisions, and reviews every line that ships. Transparency about AI collaboration is non-negotiable. Pretending this was solo work would be dishonest, and the whole point of Oversight is provenance and attribution.
