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.

In these years, I've discovered many 0day vulnerabilities and developed different exploit codes for commercial and opensource products, revealed to public by common accord with the respective product owners.
I've published exploits codes and tools on my personal website and international security portals such as Securityfocus, Securiteam, milw0rm and more (CVE-2007-2791, CVE-2007-0805, CVE-2007-0876, CVE-2008-0589 and others).
Upcoming alerts are scheduled for a future Oracle CPU: ref. ID 10846253, 10903225

Penetration test activities were performed with excellent results for Italian telecommunication companies and Institutions.

I don't like to perform audit using automated commercial tools and 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, HP-UX, Tru64, AIX and Windows operating systems.

My programming skills include good knowledge of Perl, C, C++, Assembly (x86, MIPS), web-oriented languages (PHP, XHTML, CSS), shell scripting and Java (some survival skills).
