My name is Claudio Guarnieri, otherwise known online as Nex. I'm a security researcher, free software developer, human rights advocate and spare time artist. You can find a more comprehensive bio here.

I have founded and led Amnesty International's Security Lab. Over the last decade I primarily worked on researching threats to human rights defenders and helping them stay safe online. Additionally, I develop free software and maintain free services, for individuals at risk as well as fellow security researchers. I also write a personal newsletter where I reflect about security, technology and society.

With your support I will be able to invest more time in producing free and open source content.

Following are some of the projects I have created:

• Cuckoo Sandbox
  The most popular open source malware analysis sandbox, used by thousands of researchers and organizations around the world.
