Pentesting loves free software
Christian Fernandez has a wide range of skills, which he brings to bear on the problem of cyber security from a number of different angles: software programmer, systems architect, network engineer, ethical hacker, and of course cybersecurity specialist.
Starting in 1994, he was associated with the seminal Spanish hacking collective BBK, where he went by the name ReK2WiLdS or ReK2. Growing up in Spain, he moved to the US at the age of 28, where he currently lives and works.
A strong believer in freedom, liberty, and privacy in cyberspace, he has collaborated with the FSF and Electonic Frontier Foundataion (EFF), and was the co-creator of Binary Freedom, a digital rights advocate group which operated between 2004 and 2009.
He has been a FLOSS developer since its early days in 1997, working on high visibility projects such as the KDE Desktop for the libre operating system Gnewsense.
