In The Press
The staff at Heorot.net are involved in more than just conducting PenTest training, and have written for multiple publications dedicated to penetration testing. In addition, we value the hacking community and have participated in multiple information security conferences in order to advance the profession, stimulate conversation, and increase the body of knowledge.
