Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Brad is a fixture in the hacker community for the last 10 years. He has spoken frequently at Defcon, Shmoocon, SecTor, Hackcon, and HOPE on a variety of topics. He spends his time advancing the causes of wireless security, including generating the first pre-computed hash tables for faster cracking of WPA/WPA2-PSK networks. Self-Employed, he is always looking for a new oppourtunity to speak and educate the public about the dangers of wireless networks and finding new ways to shove electronics into teddy bears.
