Hello! A self introduction by Chris Rohlf

Chris | July 7th, 2008 | Filed Under: Feature, Uncategorized

Hello! My name is Chris Rohlf and I just joined the Matasano team. I will be working on various different client projects from the NYC office. I have spent the last 5 years in the security world working on various things from R&D to operations at both government and corporate organizations. Most of my interest and work has revolved around reverse engineering, and vulnerability discovery on different platforms. Some of you may have read my personal blog in the past [EM_386] where I blog about reversing, vulnerabilities, programming and my general security related opinions.

Most recently I worked in an operational role where I got to see first hand the security threats and challenges that a large enterprise faces every day. But now I look forward to putting my prior research experience to work at Matasano.

    Marcin - Not sure. I am in the process of moving back to NJ so I may not be in town that day.

    congrats, although nothing in the world could convince me to move back to the east coast, in fact I was missing the east coast a few years back, then I had a 4 hour layover in newark and remembered why I left in the first place.

    Ah, Newark airport. I once used a toilet stall there where the autoflush sensor seemed to be wired backwards, and began flushing repeatedly as soon as I sat down.

    Sort of a metaphor for the state.

    Rob-O:

    That was a troll. Mitch is being impersonated by Dr. Neal Krawetz.

    Who sorts through all the V|@gr4 spam MSRC gets from posting your mailto: everywhere? Stepto?

    We have a whole team of program managers who take turns watching the inbox 24×7 for hot new phallus enlargement products! Occasionally we get vulnerability reports as well but they usually aren’t as interesting as the latest trends in pharma spam runs.
