Raoul "Nobody" Chiesa

Raoul has been active in the field of computer security research at a high level since 1997, when as a member of a team of experts and researchers, he contributed to national and international Security R&D projects; before that year, beginning in 1986, he has been one of the most known european hackers, using the nickname "Nobody".Mr. Chiesa and @ Mediaservice.net's team work with research institutes, multinational companies, finance & banking operators, Public Administration and Public Health services,telcos and LEAs, all asking for top-level and vendor-independent consultancy and/or training services. Moreover, Raoul Chiesa has committed himself to a campaign of “technological diplomacy”, we may say, according to which he has been fostering the purest ethical hacking spirit and IT Security in Italy and Europe, far from mere trade and brand interests, in order to support his own vision of Open Source. Raoul belongs to the Board of Directors Members at ISECOM, OWASP Italian Chapter, Telecom Security Task Force (TSTF.net) and Italian Computer Security Association.

Enno Rey

Prior to founding a specialized team of security researchers (aka building his own company) in 2001 he worked as a sysadmin and network operator. He has vast experience in designing, operating, troubleshooting and securing large networks and regularly contributes to the security community as a writer of whitepapers and articles, conference speaker or just as a pentester and protocol scientist.

Stefano Zanero

Stefano Zanero received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from the Politecnico of Milano technical university, where he is an Assistant Professor (“Ricercatore”). His current research interests include the development of Intrusion Detection Systems based on unsupervised learning algorithms, security of web applications and computer virology. He has been a speaker at international scientific and technical conferences, and he is the author and co-author of books and articles published in international, peer reviewed journals and conferences. He is a member of the board of the "Journal in Computer Virology", and acts as a reviewer for the "ACM Computing Reviews" and "IEEE Security&Privacy", as well as various primary international conferences.

He has a background of system administration and programming and holds Engineering degree in Software Engineering.

Grzegorz Błoński

Grzegorz is a computer geek, interested of operating systems security.Working as sysadmin and network operator. Fascinated by compromising emanations and hidden data transmissions. Trying to build simple and low cost device to intercept data using electromagnetic emanations. Member of ISACA and ISSA - international organizations involved in IT security.Computer forensics, collecting evidence data using Open Source toolsets is latest objective.
