Stephen Rees-Carter
Brisbane, Australia
Stephen has been a PHP developer for many long years and still loves working with PHP every day. He’s worked on security products, large SaaS applications, single-use disposable apps, and even spent a year cleaning infected WordPress sites for fun. Stephen is a Certified Ethical Hacker and loves teaching non-security people how to think like a hacker by showing just how easy it is to hack into insecure things (both digital and physical!).
He is a senior developer at Defiant, the makers of the most popular WordPress security plugin Wordfence, where he has gained an appreciation for sneaky malware, layered obfuscation, and Harry Potter passages.
