Skip Cruse is the global lead for Red Teaming and Adversary Simulation at Baxter Healthcare. He discovered a knack for computers at an early age but has always enjoyed learning how things work -- whether it is a computer, an engine, or a simple machine. This curiosity naturally drew him to a love of learning how systems work through infiltration. As a hobbyist hacker, he has utilized these specialized skills in the community by joining groups such as the Pan American Information Network, and as a founding member of the resurgence of the w00w00 cybersecurity think tank. He has since found a professional niche in the offensive security field for the past 4 years.
