About me

Paulino Calderon (@calderpwn on Twitter) is the co-founder of Websec, a company offering information security consulting services based in Mexico (https://websec.mx/) and Canada (https://websec.ca/). When he is not traveling to a security conference or conducting on-site consulting for Fortune 500 companies, he spends peaceful days in Cozumel, a beautiful island in the Caribbean, working on remote projects, learning new technologies, developing new tools, or simply enjoying the beach.

Paulino’s contributions are used by millions of professionals in the cybersecurity industry. In 2011, Paulino joined the Nmap team during the Google Summer of Code to work on the project as an NSE developer. He focused on improving the web scanning capabilities and vulnerability detection in Nmap in past years. Additionally, he has been a Google Summer of Code mentor for students in 2015, 2017 (Nmap), and 2019 (OWASP IoT Goat). He collaborates with the OWASP organization by occasionally committing to projects like the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide, OWASP JuiceShop, and OWASP IoTGoat. He is also the chapter leader of the OWASP Riviera Maya and organizer of events like OWASP LATAM Tour Mexico and 8.8 Mexico.

He has published Nmap: Network Exploration and Security Auditing Cookbook (Now on its 3rd edition), Mastering the Nmap Scripting Engine, and Practical IoT Hacking with NoStarchPress. He loves attending information security conferences and has given talks and participated in workshops in over 50 events in China, Germany, Canada, United States, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, El Salvador, Honduras, Paraguay, and Curacao.
