Abanisenioluwa Orojo

PhD Candidate, Baylor University · Security & AI Researcher

I build and evaluate AI agents that find and fix vulnerabilities on live systems, and the cyber ranges, benchmarks and detection tooling around them. Creator of SysRepair-Bench, 313 reproducible attack-and-repair scenarios.

SysRepair-Bench

313 Dockerized and VM scenarios scored on two objectives: the exploit is closed and the service still serves. Six agent architectures evaluated.

Solver · Neural-Symbolic

NeuroPlan

Lifts a live host into PDDL via osquery and runs a precondition-checked plan an operator can review first. 76% end-to-end remediation.

ACSAC Workshops 2025

ByteFlow

A byte-level LLM for deep packet inspection and network traffic intelligence.

2026 – Present

Red/Blue Self-Play RL

Asynchronous attacker/defender training on a multi-site GPU cluster.

WaCode 2026 Hackathon, 2nd Place

Team Barney and Friends placed second at Baylor's WaCode 2026 hackathon with Kyerɛ, a study app that makes students prove what they know by teaching an AI student. Orojo decompiled the games, built them into the project and brought AI into the app and the games.

Southwest CCDC Regionals · Baylor University · 2025

Southwest Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, 2nd Place

Baylor placed second at the Southwest regional defending a live enterprise network against a professional red team. Orojo served as network security lead (2023–2025) and now coaches the team.

Kyerɛ: Watching isn't knowing

Pitch for Kyerɛ, a study app where watching a lecture fills at most half of a concept radar and the rest is earned by answering alone and by teaching Fen, an AI student who knows only what you told it. Team Barney and Friends.

From Measurement to Co-Adaptive Defense: Autonomous Vulnerability Remediation on Live Systems

A 15-minute research talk in the workshop's Program Analysis, Verification, and Network Defense session. It covers SysRepair-Bench (313 dual-objective scenarios across six suites), where agents lose ground (compensating controls at 44.2% success@5), NeuroPlan's reviewable plans, and red/blue self-play as the next step.
