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.

Isn't managing people a kind of hacking ;) Sure, we can always use more help. Drop an e-mail to info@hackerhighschool.org and we'll get you set up to help with various lessons. I have to admit, with so much great info passing through the lessons it's impossible not to learn new things while reviewing and updating them.

How much you willing to help get the Night School going ;) We've got some really good people dedicated to HHS and they all will move to HNS when we're done. But that can still take a couple months until the last lesson is out. So the more people who help out the faster we'll have HNS ready. (As a side note, I'm sure the new HHS lessons will have things that will be new or interesting to you already as well.)
