Larry Pesce (haxorthematrix)

Larry Pesce is employed at InGuardians as the Director of Research. His history with hardware hacking began with the family TV when he was a kid, rebuilding it after it caught on fire. Both times. Later, as a web developer for a university in the early days of the Internet, he managed some of the first 3 Layer Switching Networks in the world. His core specialties include hardware and wireless hacking, architectural review, and traditional pentesting, often in the financial and energy sectors and healthcare. and IoT. In 2006, he co-founded the multiple international award-winning security podcast, "Paul's Security Weekly", which he continues to co-host. Alongside inspiring 150,000 downloads a month, Larry’s independent research for the show has led to interviews with the New York times with MythBuster’s Adam Savage, hacking internet-connected marital aids on stage at DEFCON, and having his RFID implant cloned on stage at Shmoocon. When not hard at work, Larry enjoys long walks on the beach weighed down by his ham radio, (callsign KB1TNF), and thinking of ways to survive the pending zombie apocalypse.
