Chris “tweedge” Partridge is a 3rd year student working on his Bachelor's in the Computing Security major at RIT, Black Hat 2017 alum, and BSidesROC regular. He’s extremely passionate about making sure he doesn’t have to take any more 11pm phone calls from his family about their computers being infected, and has been putting a disproportionate amount of time into making that happen. He believes that writing and enhancing security technologies coupled with better security education can change people from “easy targets” to “not worth it.” As the core author of dnstrace, he’s starting to bring those dreams to life, one caffeine-fueled music-blasting coding-session at a time.
