Phil is a professional penetration tester working in the UK.. He has been a pen tester for the past four years and has completed numerous engagements across different sectors for all sizes of clients. He has written dozens of blogs covering different areas of testing, including: introductions to hardware hacking; threat modelling; owning a company through admin password reuse; and an investigating into an anti-5G USB key which caught the attention of the mainstream media. Phil was also co-speaker at DEF CONs Aviation Village discussing hacking legacy in-flight entertainment systems in retired 747s.

Phil has completed several social engineering jobs: breaking into buildings both big and small, well protected, and not so much. Forever wondering “what is behind that door” has somehow turned into a job, and a quizzical mind combined with quick thinking has allowed him to bypass some brilliant security measures and gain access into some very interesting areas.
