Luca is also actively involved in InfoSec where his main fields of research are: Radio Networks, Hardware Hacking, Internet of Things, and Physical Security. He also loves to share his knowledge and present some cool projects at security conferences around the globe: BlackHat Europe & USA, TROOPERS, HackInParis, DEFCON, HackInBo, RomHack, Defcon Moscow, OWASP Chapters, Security Analyst Summit, etc. At the moment, he is focusing his researches on bypassing biometric access control systems, IIoT Security & Forensics, Air-Gapped Environments and IoOT (Internet of Offensive Things).
Basic knowledge of Linux OS, bash scripting & python, exposure to OWASP terminology. No specific knowledge of Electronics is required! We will teach you all you need!
Students must bring their own laptop with VMware Workstation (MANDATORY). Local Administrative privileges to the host laptop may be required to ensure proper virtual machine functionality (this is absolutely required. If your company will not permit this access for the duration of the course, then you should make arrangements to bring a different system).VM images will be provided to students; a minimum of 100GB free disk space is required. The laptop must have with a RJ45 connector and at least 2 USB-A ports (or an external docking station with USB-A ports and RJ45). Would be also beneficial the possibility to load a Linux LiveOS from USB flashdrive. You must be able to access your system’s BIOS throughout the class. If your BIOS is password-protected, you must have the password. Note: Apple computers are heavily discouraged due to their instability in running x64 VMs.
