Learn About Me!

I'm a generalist Systems Administrator. I design and implement systems that rely on Windows and Linux servers, wired and wireless networks, storage of all types, and insert_buzzword();

I Am a Bad Person =(

I do not intend to offend, but at times I get carried away with my own humor, puns, and self assigned eloquence. If I offended you publicly, tell me and I will repent publicly.

Hire Me!

I am an independent consultant that owns and operates his own LLC in the US of A. Check out my careers.StackOverflow.com profile or you can find me on LinkedIn.

As a Systems Engineer, I work to enable you and your business to help yourselves through technology with the aid of my analysis, design, and implementation skills.

I can help your business help itself. I will analyze your present state, learn about your hoped-for future and get the two to meet using technology as a framework and excellent workflows as the "meat".

My Gravatar is from Troy Snow's photography. Check him out at his Flickr page and tell him I sent you: http://www.flickr.com/photos/troysnow/ . Even though we tend to use the same goofy kitten face as an avatar, we are not the same person and have no affiliation. Other than good taste in avatars, anyway.

comment Is it still unsafe to email credit card number nowadays?
+1 for the sent items folder. An attacker can easily perform a search for numbers that resemble CC conventions.

comment How do researchers “gain control of an attacking PC” and not themselves be considered attackers / criminals?
Also, as a result of the merge, there was a bit of comment confusion. I thought gowenfawr and zedman9091's answers were directly made to mine - which they're not. My question is generic in nature and not specific to the McAfee incident. I was interested in a general sense how security professionals can gain access to an attacking machine.

@Augusto My questions aren't specific to McAfee. They're generic. I just used the McAfee scenario as a real life example to kick the generic questions off.
