Martin Law has over 20 years security expertise and has been performing physical and social engineering tests since 1994. As an accomplished penetration tester, he now specialises in accessing buildings physically by using a combination of social engineering and other techniques to bypass physical security. Martin also undertakes investigations into actual or suspected security breaches, and specialises in the area of Information Warfare. He attempts to breach not only the logical security of systems and networks, but also the physical security of the infrastructure and buildings, including the use of social engineering when engaged in an "All-Out-Attack" against an enterprise. Having a considerable depth of technical experience in open and distributed systems, as well as networking, in multi-vendor environments, Martin has spent nearly 24 years in the UNIX and TCP/IP arena, having started his career as a developer of UNIX systems. Martin is an OWASP chapter leader, event planner with the ISF (Information Security Forum) and formerly a director of CREST (Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers) and a council member of the ISF.
