Hi there. I’m Marco Squarcina, also known as lavish if we met on IRC. I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. I’m passionate about computer security and hacking in its broadest sense. I often take part in CTFs as a proud member of c00kies@venice. Sometimes I’m available for freelance consulting. Send me a message on Signal or Whatsapp if you want to get in touch or just drop me a mail. My PGP key is here if needed.
