[0x01] Who's raptor?

I'm Marco Ivaldi, a seasoned security researcher and tech leader with 25+ years of experience, specializing in offensive security, from old school X.25 to modern mobile apps. I work as technical director at HN Security, a boutique company I co-founded that provides tailored offensive security services.

As a polyglot programmer of weird machines, I study how things can go wrong. I'm a core developer of the OSSTMM, the international standard for security testing. I've published many articles in various computing magazines, including Phrack, and I've co-authored some books, such as the popular Hacking Exposed Linux. I've presented my research at prestigious international conferences, including Infiltrate. I've recently earned the title of Most Valuable Security Researcher from Microsoft. Back in the 90s, I co-founded Linux&C, the first Italian magazine about Linux and the open source movement.

I write code in Rust, C, Assembly, Python, Java, C++, Go, JavaScript, Perl, Shell, and more... This is my personal homepage. Please send your feedback to <raptor[at]0xdeadbeef.info> (PGP key).
