Shack’s Rant-o-Rama

I am passionate about information security as a discipline. Although a technician, I think my true love of infosec is more psychological in nature – computer crime pays well, and it attracts incredibly smart people. Thus, a continually advancing field that still has a lot to learn. Perfect. I like smart people, and I don’t waver or discriminate in that regard. I loathe and eschew paper pushers – those who wait for people to tell them what to do, and how to do it.

My particular areas of interest in the realm of information technology, especially security, include the following (in no real order):

• Malware, particularly bots
• Virtualization Security
• Intrusion Detection and Packet Analysis
• Auditing and Compliance
• Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment
• Honeypots
• Log Management
