trixr4skids is a security engineer and a recovering consultant. He enjoys hardware hacking, reverse engineering, the occasional webapp RCE, robots, beer, and of course robots that bring him beer. As a child he enjoyed taking apart everything he could get his hands on in a quest to figure out how it worked (his parents did not always appreciate this). He could never figure out what the green rectangles with the black rectangles on them did and often resorted to smashing them with a hammer to see what was inside. Since then he has learned more effective ways to go about discovering the secrets those black things are hiding and even how to make them do different things than intended. His current research projects include attacking embedded devices based on the rabbit 2000/3000 CPUs, studying the security of payment card systems, and hacking anything interesting that he can buy off eBay.
