About the Author

My name is Christopher Quinn and I am an Information Security Specialist in the medical field, prior to that, I was a Linux Engineer. I have multiple certifications including the CEH Master, CCNA, Security+, PenTest+, eJPT, and EC-Council’s Certified Network Defender.

With years of experience in defensive and offensive security, I am passionate about empowering individuals to protect their digital lives. My expertise aren't just technical, they are personal. I am a firm believer in privacy rights, and I have always challenged the idea that “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about.” To me, privacy isn’t about secrecy, it is about freedom from government overreach and corporate surveillance.

Beyond Linux and InfoSec, I am an avid soccer fan, my favorite league is the Bundesliga, however, I like teams across several leagues, to name a few 1.FCN, Schalke 04, Sporting CP, Athletico De Madrid, Partizans Belgrade and St. Louis City SC. If I am not working on a project, I am looking into new security tools, researching ways to circumvent surveillance or watching a soccer game.
