<p>I am currently a member of the design team for the next-generation
|
|
|
|
operating system from the NonStop Enterprise Division of HP. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I became interested in Internet Security when I established a home
|
|
|
|
office in 1999 and had DSL service installed in our home. I
|
|
|
|
investigated ipchains and developed the scripts which are now
|
|
|
|
collectively known as <a href="http://seawall.sourceforge.net">
|
|
|
|
Seattle Firewall</a>. Expanding on what I learned from Seattle
|
|
|
|
Firewall, I then designed and wrote Shorewall. </p>
