0xdeadbeef dot info.

Choose Windows. Choose the eXPerience.
Choose flashy menus on your fucking server.
Choose Exchange. Choose IIS.
Choose Code Red, Nimda, the Lovebug, and a sexy Melissa...
Choose Outlook and end up wondering where your stupid .docs are.
Choose not to choose. Let Micro$oft do it for you.

But why would I want to do a thing like that?

I choose not to be chosen: I choose something else.
The reasons? There are too many reasons.
And who needs reasons when you've got Linux?

I'm a computer security researcher and consultant, a software developer, and a UNIX system administrator. My particular interests are networking (from old-style X.25 packet switched networks to modern SAT links), telephony (fixed, mobile, and VoIP), and cryptology.

I'm currently employed as Red Team Coordinator at @ Mediaservice.net, a leading information security company based in Italy: my daily tasks include advanced penetration testing, ISMS deployment and audit, vulnerability research and exploit development. I hold the OPST certification.

I'm also a technical writer: my articles are published on various computing magazines. I'm founder and editorial board member of Linux&C (the first italian magazine about Linux and open-source), Linux Pratico, and H&C. Finally, I write for some web portals about hacking, security, and privacy in the digital age.

I'm an OpenBSD and FreeBSD aficionado. When I have to use Linux, I choose my first love Slackware.
