As mentioned elsewhere, we'd appreciate it if folks attempted to be reasonable and civil, and employ self-management of the channel employing the equality through simplicity principle wherever possible. That said, there are certain scenarios in which you might need a staffer. Our staffers may not be +o inchannel, but that doesn't mean they aren't around - if you need to find out which staffers are around and who they are, try chanserv - /chanserv access ##security list will give you a list of staffers which you can use to see who's around.

Here's an overview of who our staff are with some links to any online material they have might be, and a brief bio...

Bio: I have been writing network intrusion detection and prevention signatures since 1998. Focus areas include IP, TCP, DNS, HTTP, and SMTP. I believe the Internet is fundamentally broken and would like design a new methodology for internetworking that requires confidentiality, integrity, availability, and non-repudiation at all layers. I devoutly believe anything can be improved with bacon.

I founded #security in 2001 in hopes of creating a security community within Freenode. My hopes were exceeded when we became the official security channel for Freenode. I have contributed to various open-source projects including Snort and Hogwash.

Handle: Kryczek
Bio: I am an Information Warfare Consultant working for Homeland Security. Having played chess as a kid, Information Security quickly became a passion as it had the same 'challenging' and 'perfidious' aspects to it, beginning with cracking the password my parents put on our first family computer. Although my IRC client is connected 24/7, my presence in the channel tends to be spasmodic as I breeze in and out of office frequently during the day. In the past I used to contribute to a bunch of opensource projects such as Libnids, Tcpdump and Wireshark, even started my own (see website) but I am now unfortunately way too out of time to work on these anymore. Hopefully some day I'll get back to it, when I have time... :-)

Bio: I'm a Security Consultant working for a UK-based security consultancy, focusing on Infrastructure and Web Application Security. In the past, I've done a lot of work with Microsoft Infrastructure involving products like IIS, ISA, Active Directory, and Exchange. The clients I work with are mostly within the financial sector in the UK.
