Tod Beardsley is the Engineering Manager for the Metasploit Project, the world-renowned open source penetration testing platform. He has over twenty years of hands-on security knowledge, reaching back to the halcyon days of 2400 baud textfile BBSes and in-band telephony switching. Since then, he has held IT Ops and IT Security positions in large footprint organizations such as 3Com, Dell,and Westinghouse. Today, he is passionate (some might say militant) about open source software development, open source security research, and data liberation, and can often be found on Freenode IRC as “todb.”
