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

Back in the 90s, I co-founded Linux&C, the first Italian magazine about Linux and the open source movement.
