As a polyglotprogrammer ofweird machines, I studyhow things can go wrong. I'm acore developer of theOSSTMM, the international standard for security testing. I've published many articles in various computing magazines, includingPhrack, and I've co-authored some books, such as the popularHacking Exposed Linux. I've presented my research at prestigious international conferences, includingInfiltrate. I've recently earned the title ofMost Valuable Security Researcher from Microsoft. Back in the 90s, I co-foundedLinux&C, the first Italian magazine about Linux and the open source movement.

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