Peter Shipley has been working with security for over 30 years. In the late 80's he wrote one of the first network security scanners and maintained one of the first bug databases ( later used to seed similar lists at CERT and llnl.gov ). Around the same time Peter co-founded UC Berkeley's OCF (Open Computing Facility).

In the mid 90's Peter Shipley became a founding member of cypherpunks & setup up one of the first official PGP distribution sites.

In '98 (DEF CON 6) Peter Shipley did a independent security research on war-dialing, exposing a significant security problem that was being ignored in most corporate environments making phone security.

At DEF CON 9 Peter Shipley introduced wardriving to the world. Recently Peter has written and released several APIs using python to link various networked automation appliances via REST and other interfaces.

Peter Shipley currently manages for a dot-com by day, and helps raise two kids by night.
