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.

I don't understand why it would. If MS dos opensource then that's good for all. It doesn't change how a methodology needs to freed or how one does security testing or analysis.
Hi, yes, it is a shame. I can only hope that new directions in open source chip away at these fallacies little by little. But I have little hope for the world, I mean look how many people still hold onto the no swimming for 30 min after eating fallacy. :(
