Andrea Purificato’s Summary

アンドレア「ブンケル」プリフィカト

Ethical Hacker and Computer Security Enthusiast.

I've discovered different 0day vulnerabilities published by common accord with the respective product owners. I've developed many public exploit codes for commercial and open source products.

Penetration test activities were performed with excellent results for italian telecommunication companies and institutions.

I don't like to use automated commercial tools and I prefer thinking "out of the box" to solve any problem. Today, penetration test and vulnerability research are my main activities.

I have advanced knowledge of GNU/Linux, *BSD, SUN Solaris/OpenSolaris, HP-UX, Tru64, AIX and Windows operating systems.

My programming skills include good knowledge of Perl (my favourite programming language), C, C++, web-oriented languages (PHP, XHTML, CSS), shell scripting and some Java survival skills.

Andrea Purificato’s Specialties:

Penetration Test, Vulnerability Assessment, Security Research, Advanced/Technical Security Audit, Networking, Programming.
