Rick Redman has been testing web application security and a penetration tester since 1999. He founded and runs the DEFCON password cracking contest “Crack Me If You Can”. He started out by running a BBS in the early 1993 and selling UUCP based Internet from a 486dx33. After graduating from Purdue’s COAST/CERIAS program in the 90s under ‘spaf’ he hit the ground running being a penetration tester by working on projects such as Sandia National Lab’s “Tiger Team”. Rick made the rounds in 2010 giving talks about advanced password cracking, including being on the closing panel at ShmooCON.
