Rafal Wojtczuk specializes primarily in kernel and virtualization security. Over the years he has disclosed many security vulnerabilities in popular operating system kernels (Linux®, SELinux, *BSD, Windows™), virtualization software (Xen®, VMWare® and Microsoft® virtualization products), and low-level system technologies (Intel TXT, Intel AMT, Intel BIOS). He is also well known for his articles on advanced exploitation techniques, including novel methods for exploiting buffer overflows in partially randomized address space environments. Rafal holds a Master’s Degree in Computer Science from University of Warsaw.

Alexander Tereshkin is an experienced reverse engineer and an expert into Windows® kernel and hardware virtualization, specializing in rootkit technology and kernel exploitation. He is known for his research on sophisticated ideas for novel rootkit creation and personal firewall bypassing in the past years. Recently he has done significant work in the field of virtualization based malware and Microsoft® Vista™ kernel security. He is a co-author of "Understanding Stealth Malware" course. Alex holds the Russian equivalent of a Master's Degree in Applied Mathematics, and also the Russian equivalent of a PhD degree in Information Security from Taganrog State University Of Radioengineering (Southern Federal University).

Joanna Rutkowska leads a team of researchers who focus on system-level security. This includes kernel, hypervisor, chipset and CPU security issues. The recent achievements of the team include: bypassing Intel TXT, attacks on SMM, Intel AMT and BIOS, and demonstration of practical Xen hypervisor compromises. She is also known for writing Blue Pill -- the first virtualization-based rootkit with nested hypervisors support, and also for her work on various kernel mode malware for Windows and Linux. Joanna holds a Master’s Degree in Computer Science from Warsaw University of Technology.
