In 2003 he took over the lead of the auditing team at scip AG in Zurich. The knowledge gathered the past years became very important to guarantee powerful security tests of all kind. The work coverage has been increased: Besides classic penetration tests also source code reviews, reverse engineering and formal analysis of firewall rule sets became important. These approaches remain very important to fullfil the applied regulations (e.g. FINMA, SOX and ISO).

Between 2003 and 2007 he was also responsible to setup and maintain the public vulnerability data base in which he documented more than 2'000 security issues. Since 2009 he publishes technical articles in the labs blog once a week.

Marc Ruef is one of the most read authors in german speaking countries. Since 1997 he has published more than 380 papers of all kind. Some of them were translated into spanish, russian and japanese (Kanji). Furthermore, he participated in writing and translating (English to German) several books. In September 2002 his best-sellung book "Hacking Intern", the first issue was sold out within the one year, was published at Data Becker. One year later he released his german translation of the 3rd edition of the book "Network Intrusion Detection" by Stephen Northcutt and Judy Novak at MITP/Huthig Telekommunikation. And in mid 2007 he published his long awaited book "Die Kunst des Penetration Testing" (The Art of Penetration Testing), which discusses methodologies and techniques of technical testing, at C&L. The latter became something like a standard in this kind of security analysis and was already reprinted half a year after first publishing due to the enormous demand. More books, one of them about source code analysis, are planned. ...more
