About Joshua Wright
Rogue hacker-turned-infosec-professional, Joshua Wright initially got into the infosec field after getting caught hacking, uncovering a vulnerability disclosure in the process. With the threat of a lawsuit looming, Joshua decided to pursue good over evil, launching his infosec career in 1997 with Johnson & Wales University. Since then, he’s worked at five companies and today serves as director and senior security analyst for CounterHack, a company devoted to the development of information security challenges for education, evaluation, and competition. He is the author and an instructor for SANS most-popular course SEC504: Hacker Tools, Techniques, Exploits, and Incident Handling.
