About Sandro Melo -  aka CARIOCA -  Currently I work at Bandtec College, and also with Advanced Training, Pentest, Response to Security Incidents and Computer Forensic and student/candidate in Doctor Program in TIDD/PUC-SP. I was born in the beautiful city Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I moved to Sao Paulo where I began my professional career in System Security. Since 1996 I have worked mainly with Linux/FreeBSD and FLOSS (Free/libre and Open Source Software), Network Administrator, I am often a guest professor at many universities all over Brazil. Project Fedora Linux Ambassador, LPI and BSDA PROCTOR.

I take great pride in everything I do, especially with my work in forensics. I have years of hands-on experience with many of the core technologies and have written many books and articles on security and forensics. When not working or writing, I can be found experimenting with the latest Open Source solutions, installing new versions of the same Operation Systems like Unix, such as Linux, FreeBSD or Mac OS X and also some FLOSS tools because I find it enjoyable and have a deep passion for my work.
