* Hi, my name is Matteo G.P. Flora, currently living in Milano, Italy.*


Security Evangelist, Forensic Examiner
and New Media Consultant

Most of the time I work as a high level strategic consultant where

expertise in various fields, such as Computer Forensics, Secure Programming, Privacy and
deep knowledge of the Online Communities, is a critical factor in planning and achieving.

I help Companies to find Success

helping them in all the fields that concern Security, New Media, Social Networks, Intelligence,
Crawling, Web Positioning. And often delivering 360° Strategic Consulting for their projects.

If your Business needs a new Web Agency and you can't choose one, if you feel your contractor in Security is cheating you, if you need to know more about this "LongTail" and "Social Networks" thing, if one of your employees turns out to be a betrayer, and more in general if you need advice and expertise in the field of Security and Web, you can contact me for an appointment and evaluate if my solutions are better or worse than yours. They're often quite good and my contacts in various fields might intrest you...

I'm the guy of "Mediaset vs. Youtube"

even if that is not my greatest achievement in Computer Forensics. It's simply the most famous ;)

Some of my works divided by area of expertise:

[ FORENSICS EXAMINER ]
I've been Forensic Consultant for Italian Police, Guardia di Finanza and various other Police Depts. I've been working as a consultant in the Cirio/Parmalat scandal, as well as the famous "Casa di Cura Santa Rita" scandal.
I normally (and quite often) work as a Consultant in Forensics (consulente di parte) and I've served in some score of causes, some of them as "Mediaset vs. Google" became quite famous.

[ NEW MEDIA CONSULTANT]
I've been serving as Strategic Consultant and/or IT Consultant in many realities, such as: BNL, MPS, Walt Disney Interactive, Mediaset, CityGroup, 77Agency, Buongiorno Vitaminic, Glaxxo Smith Kline, ENI.
Other projects involved Gruppo Soa, Mg-Art, Todomodo, AstraZeneca, Aktive Reply, Fiat Auto.
And let's not forget MissioneSogni.

[ SECURITY EVANGELIST ]
in addition to releasing Vulnerability Reports and Advisories, I've been helping Companies with Security Audits since 1999.
My clients include, within the boundary of NDA possibility to citation, Poste Italiane, EDS, ENI, Spike Reply, Mediaset.

[ ENTERPRENEUR ]
I've been financing directly the studies of OpenMeditation.org and I've been developing the client-based online encryption and storage portal Ncrypt.it.
I'm also shareholder in Fluupe, the Airline Fare Compairson Website.
In addition I'm about to launch BloggerMafia, a blog intelligence and crawling tool.

[ PANELIST AND COLUMNIST ]
I'm frequently panelist in conferences (I've held more than a hundred of them) enjoying speaking about Corporate and Personal Security, Control Evasion, Anonymity and Privacy. In spare time I tend to publish advisories and to catch some nasty XSS and SQL Injection. It's a hobby like another.
I'm columnist for the leading Italian IT magazine PuntoInformatico, keeping a weekly appointment of "(in)security".

[ OTHER STUFF ]
In the very scarce free time I try without success to play Golf, spend time Meditating, try to be a Reiki Master, stroll around in my Fixed Gear bikes. And I've ever since lost my hope in playing Guitar.
And I'm an enthusiast about photography. Mainly portraits.
Oh, and I own a snake. A Lemon Pastel ball python.
