Laszlo Tibor Erdodi

Laszlo Tibor Erdodi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Digital Security at the University of Oslo. He specializes in cybersecurity, ethical hacking, and exploit prevention, with a focus on critical infrastructure and power grid security. His work bridges theoretical research and practical applications, addressing vulnerabilities in cyber-physical systems and developing mitigation strategies.

Research Interests: Erdodi’s research emphasizes cybersecurity challenges in industrial systems, including power grids, IoT, and critical infrastructure. He investigates advanced persistent threats (APTs), exploit techniques like Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) and Jump-Oriented Programming (JOP), and the development of secure protocols and testbeds for vulnerability assessment. His work often explores stealthy data integrity attacks and defense mechanisms for smart grids.

Recent Publications Trends: Erdodi’s recent articles (2024) highlight contributions to cybersecurity in power systems, including APT attack simulations on IEC 61850 substations, multidomain cyber-physical testbeds, and data integrity threats in wide-area monitoring systems. Earlier work (2015–2017) focused on exploit techniques, minimal shellcode development, and gadget-based attacks.

Affiliations: Erdodi is affiliated with the Digital Security (SEC) research group and the P4C Partnership for Cybersecurity initiative. He also contributes to centers under the University of Oslo’s Board, focusing on cybersecurity education and policy.
