Matt South is a penetration tester from Kansas City, Missouri. He specializes in web and mobile application testing, but loves all things security. He has been an amateur security enthusiast since childhood and was a regular 2600 attendee. After graduating The University of Kansas with a B.S. in Computer Science, Matt spent 6 years as an IT Consultant to local businesses in Kansas City. In 2013, he combined his knowledge of business systems and love for security to become a penetration tester for TrustFoundry. Since then, he has hacked on hundreds of systems. He's given talks at security events such as SecKC and TriKC. He also had the privilege to present a tool of his own design at BlackHat USA 2015. When he's not hacking, you can find Matt fishing with family, traveling with his wife, or killing plants in his garden. Matt's favorite types of exploits to find are business logic flaws that an automated scanner would miss. He enjoys asking and answering security-related questions to share knowledge and improve the security community overall. Matt takes the most pride in his reporting because he has the chance to clearly explain the issues to help customers improve their security posture.
