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 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, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Shell, and more... My personal homepage is 0xdeadbeef.info.
