Jessey Bullock is a security engineer with a diverse background, having worked both as a security consultant and as an internal security team member. Jessey started out supporting network administration while trying to break into the security industry, and Wireshark has always been an integral part of his tool set. His varied skill set was honed across numerous industries, such as energy and finance, even having worked for a gaming company.

Jessey's experience includes a deep understanding of offensive and application security. As a consultant, Jessey performed engagements involving everything from incident response to embedded device testing. Jessey currently focuses on application security and has a keen interest in scaling security testing while providing day to day security support for developers and performing assessments of internally developed products.

In his free time, Jessey enjoys gaming with his son, writing the occasional Python code, and playing grumpy sysadmin for his wife's restaurant business.

Jeff T. Parker is a seasoned security professional and technical writer. His 20 years of experience began with Digital Equipment Corporation, then on to Compaq and Hewlett Packard, where Jeff primarily consulted on complex enterprise environments. During the HP years, Jeff shifted his focus from systems to security. Only IT security has matched an insatiable appetite for learning and sharing.

Having done the get as many certifications as you can phase, Jeff is most proud of his service to clients, including UN agencies, government services, and enterprise corporations.

Jeff holds degrees in subjects far from IT, yet he only makes time to hack away at his home lab. He and his family enjoy life in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Most excitedly, Jeff timed this project's end with a much-anticipated new project: house training a new puppy.
