Car hacker by trade, embedded systems security engineer by day. Entered the field of cyberauto security in 2012 through the Battelle CAVE red team and had the opportunity to improve the world by hacking transportation systems. Co-founded multiple security companies focused on building tools for automated exploitation of automotive systems (http://www.silent-cyber.com/), open-source frameworks for V2X, secure digital asset management, and 3D printing electric cars (https://hackaday.com/tag/lost-pla/) out of your garage (http://fosscar.faikvm.com/trac/). DEF CON lurker since the age of 17, recently having joined forces with friends and mentors to organize and host the DEF CON Car Hacking Village.

p3n3troot0r began working V2X with ginsback two years ago and realized the opportunity, in lieu of any open-source or full-stack V2X implementation, to bring the security community in to the driver's seat in the development of next-gen cyberauto standards. Together they have engaged the thought leaders in this space, and via the long-awaited integration of this stack into the mainline Linux kernel, the global development community is given the opportunity to participate in the development of automated and connected transportation systems.
