I love working with computers, and while technology is always changing – that is what really inspires me.  I found myself visiting many community boards as a kid, researching topics such as how to hack your family computer, how to return it to a safe state, how to wipe passwords and unblock time restrictions on internet use.

The more I learned, the more my curiosity developed.  My interest in internet security really began when I started following a project a programmer initiated on a Remote Administration Tool (RAT) coined “Omerta”.

The RAT allowed for remote administration of any client machine of which you had direct access, or could exploit remotely. It was considered a hacking tool by all anti-virus software, but it could obviously be made into an undetectable file. When I saw this program, I realized how much internet security was changing and how computers were becoming vulnerable to security issues.
