[0x01] Who's Raptor?

Welcome to 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).

I'm a seasoned information security researcher and consultant, specializing in networking (from old-style X.25 packet switched networks to modern wireless links), telephony (landline, mobile, VoIP), and control systems (SCADA and critical infrastructures in general). 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 providing security awareness for teens. As a technical writer, I've published articles about hacking, security, and privacy on many computing magazines and web sites. 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.

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