About

This blog is nerdly… It is about reverse engineering, software security, software development,  vulnerability research, exploit development, and other “infosec” topics…

This blog is run by two Stephens.

Stephen Lawler (slawlerguy): Most of the badass stuff posted here will be by him. Stephen Lawler works as an independent consultant and software developer.

Stephen A. Ridley (s7ephen):  Most of the lame stuff posted here will be by him. Stephen work(ed) at Matasano. In 2010 he resigned from that work to focus on research projects as an independent consultant. You can find him on twitter as @s7ephen

The two Stephens worked with each other in a past life doing “infosec” stuff. This is where they developed their penchant for “reactance”, which is how this blog got it’s name.
