Once upon a time, snare was a code-monkey, cranking out everything from pre-press automation apps to firmware for Big F***ing Laser Machines. Upon discovering that "information security" was actually a somewhat legitimate industry, and not just hacking stuff for fun, he got himself a job as a penetration tester. He now works as the Principal Consultant for Assurance in Melbourne, Australia.

Having been a Mac fanboy since around 1987, snare spends most of his free time messing with Mac OS X -from firmware to kernel rootkits to writing actual useful applications. When he's not playing with computers he enjoys hoppy pale ales, guitars, metal \m/, and building robots.
