I am an avid Maker, Hacker, and Researcher. I teach my kids to hack, pick locks, look things up, and question authority. I'm also the co-founder of ISECOM (www.isecom.org) and as Managing Director am directly involved in all ISECOM projects. In 2000, I created the OSSTMM (www.osstmm.org) for security testing and analysis. I am still the lead developer of the OSSTMM but have also lead the organization into new research challenges like Smarter Safer Better (www.smartersaferbetter.org), the Bad People Project (www.badpeopleproject.org), Hacker Highschool (www.hackerhighschool.org) and the Home Security Methodology (http://isecom.org/research/hsm.html). My strong interest in the properties of trust and how it affects us and our lives has led to developing trust metrics and through that have brought ISECOM more deeply into Human Security.

Thanks so much Don! Your support and kind words are much appreciated!
I think that's great to recognize how comprehensive comp sci needs to be today. But I think hacking is something independent of programming and technology and can apply to so many more fields. Schools adopt all forms of pseudo-science for "improving" (shortcuts to) student learning/behavior/cognition. Hacking is a clear one with clear results. Since no one trick will apply to all students, teachers need a bag of tricks to reach as many students as possible. Hacking can be there.
