Peiter C. Zatko, better known as Mudge, is a network security expert, open source programmer, writer, and a hacker. He was the most prominent member of the high profile hacker think tank the L0pht〔(Security Scene Errata )〕 as well as the long-lived computer and culture hacking cooperative the Cult of the Dead Cow. While involved with the L0pht, Mudge contributed significantly to disclosure and education on information and security vulnerabilities. In addition to pioneering buffer overflow work, the security advisories he released contained early examples of flaws in the following areas: code injection, race condition, side-channel attack, exploitation of embedded systems, and cryptanalysis of commercial systems. He was the original author of the password cracking software L0phtCrack.〔() L0phtCrack]〕 In 2010 Mudge accepted a position as a program manager at DARPA where he oversaw cyber security research.〔(Hacker Mudge Gets DARPA Job )〕 In 2013 Mudge went to work for Google in their Advanced Technology & Projects division.〔(Peiter “Mudge” Zatko To Join Motorola Mobility’s Advanced Technology & Projects (ATAP) )〕〔 ==Biography== Born in December 1970, Mudge graduated from the Berklee College of Music at the top of his class〔(Berklee College Peiter Zatko )〕 and is an adept guitar player. Mudge was responsible for early research into a type of security vulnerability known as the buffer overflow. In 1995 he published "How to Write Buffer Overflows", one of the first papers on the topic.〔(How to Write Buffer Overflows )〕 He published some of the first security advisories and research demonstrating early vulnerabilities in Unix such as code injection, side-channel attacks, and information leaks, and was a leader in the full disclosure movement. He was the initial author of security tools L0phtCrack, AntiSniff, and l0phtwatch. Mudge was one of the first people from the hacker community to reach out and build relationships with government and industry. In demand as a public speaker, he spoke at hacker conferences such as DEF CON〔(DEF CON V Archives )〕 and academic conferences such as USENIX.〔(An Interview with Mudge )〕 Mudge has also been a member of Cult of the Dead Cow since 1996.〔(CULT OF THE DEAD COW Team Bio )〕 He was one of the seven L0pht members who testified before a Senate committee in 1998 about the serious vulnerabilities of the Internet at that time.〔(U.S. Senate Press Release: HEARINGS ANNOUNCED ON COMPUTER SECURITY FAILURES IN GOVERNMENT )〕 The L0pht became the computer security consultancy @stake in 1999, and Mudge became the vice president of research and development and later chief scientist.〔(The L0pht, renowned 'hacker think-tank,' becomes @stake )〕 In 2000, after the first crippling Internet distributed denial-of-service attacks, he was invited to meet with President Bill Clinton at a security summit alongside cabinet members and industry executives.〔(Clinton fights hackers, with a hacker )'〕 In 2004 he became a division scientist at government contractor BBN Technologies,〔(Hacker 'Mudge' Returns to BBN )〕 where he originally worked in the 1990s, and also joined the technical advisory board of NFR Security.〔(NFR Security Adds Leading Security Industry Experts to Technology Advisory Board )〕 On 11 August 2007 he married Sarah Lieberman, a co-worker at BBN. In February 2010, it was announced that he would be project manager of a DARPA project focused on directing research in cyber security.〔(Hacker 'Mudge' gets DARPA job )〕 On 12 April 2013 Zatko announced that he would leave DARPA for a position at Google ATAP.〔〔 On 29 June 2015 Zatko announced on Twitter he would join a project called #CyberUL, a testing organisation for computer security inspired by Underwriters Laboratories, mandated by the White House.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peiter Zatko」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
