# About the author

## Hello!!

This is **Carlos Polop**.

First of all, I want to indicate that **I don't own this entire book**, a lot of **information was copy/pasted from other websites and that content belongs to them** (this is indicated on the copy/pasted content).

I also wants to say **thanks to all the people that share cyber-security related information for free** on the Internet. Thanks to them I learnt hacking and thanks to them HackTricks is possible.

## BIO

If for some weird reason you are interested in knowing about my bio here you have a summary:

* I'm a **Telecommunications Engineer** with a **Masters** in **Cybersecurity**

* I speak **Spanish** and **English** and little of French (some day I will improve that).
