Larry Pesce

Larry is the Vice President of Services at Finite State, focused on XoT security issues, after spending more than 25 years doing security and disaster recovery in healthcare, performing penetration testing, wireless assessments, and hardware hacking.

He also diverts a significant portion of his attention co-hosting the international award winning security podcast, Paul's Security Weekly, and likes to tinker with all things electronic and wireless, much to the disappointment of his family, friends, warranties, and his second Leatherman Multi-tool.

Larry is also co-author of Linksys WRT54G Ultimate Hacking, Using Wireshark and Ethereal, and How to Cheat at Configuring Open Source Security Tools. Larry is an Extra Class Amateur Radio operator (KB1TNF) and enjoys developing hardware and real-world challenges for the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Cyber Defense Challenge.
