Alessandro Greco

aka Aleff

I'm passionate about computer science and enjoy participating in CTFs. I'm interested in learning new stuff and try to promote the philosophy of free software. I'm a supporter of cryptography and hacker culture. I enjoy volunteering my time on security-related projects, as I've done with the University of Calabria and Carnegie Mellon University. If you have any ideas to share, feel free to reach out (but please use my public key if you'd like to email me). A fan supporting Barricate against Gonzità.
