[0x01] Who's Raptor?

I'm a seasoned information security researcher and consultant, specializing in networking (from old school X.25 to modern Wi-Fi), telephony (POTS, mobile, VoIP), and control systems (SCADA and critical infrastructure). I'm employed as Principal Security Advisor at @ Mediaservice.net, a leading information security consulting firm based in Italy, where I'm in charge of project and team management, penetration testing, compliance audits, vulnerability research, and exploit development. Basically, I'm a professional hacker and project manager. I hold the following certifications:

OSSTMM Professional Security Analyst (OPSA)
OSSTMM Professional Security Tester (OPST)
OSSTMM Wireless Security Expert (OWSE)
PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA)
PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV)
PRINCE2 Foundation

As member of the ISECOM Core Team, I'm actively involved in the development of the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM), the international standard for performing security testing and metrics. I'm also contributing to the Hacker Highscool (HHS), another ISECOM project promoting security awareness for teens. As a technical writer, I've co-authored some well-known books and I've published many articles about hacking, security, and privacy. I'm co-founder and editorial board member of Linux&C (the first Italian magazine about Linux and open source), Linux Pratico, and H&C.

This is my personal homepage and playground. Even though I'm a busy guy, I try to keep it up to date. Take a look below for (new) stuff. Please send your feedback to: Marco Ivaldi <raptor[at]0xdeadbeef.info> (PGP key updated on 2014-07-01).
