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! Please do pass the word on to as many high schools as possible!
Thanks so much for your positive feedback! We have a world of young people growing to take our spots in running this world some day and I want them all to be able to think for themselves and vote, and work, and be without artificial influence. And your car analogy is one we work with- that back in the 40s and 50s, some of the greatest hackers were car enthusiasts looking to make more out of their cars. Young people who hacked at the stock engine, body, suspension, and tires to make something faster, stronger, or quicker. Most of the changes to the cars in stock car racing started off as hacks. Thanks again! See you in the warranty-voided line! :)
