Apart from this little webblog of mine I’m also involved in a cool project ran by Jayson Street called Dissectingthehack.
Dissectingthehack is exactly what it says it is. It is a community of people who study vulnerabilities and the techniques people use to exploit them. This to get a better understanding on how to secure systems on Internet. We talk about it, share our views and often joke about it. Don’t let the word “hack” make you think we are criminals! The founder, Jayson Street, is a well-respected security specialist who, among others, consults the FBI on cybercrime issues and author of the book “Dissecting the Hack, The Forbidden Network”.
So, why do I contribute on www.dissectingthehack.com ? Well, I am a strong believer in sharing knowledge. It is my opinion that sharing your experience/knowledge works both ways. When you share, people are willing to share back, so to speak. Sharing my knowledge brings me in a position where i can learn as well.
Everybody wins.
Everybody profits.
Like minded people stimulate each other. Its not a bragging contest where everyone’s ego is blocking the will to learn from others.

It seems that there are people out there on the Internet who actually read my blog postings and watch my video’s. That’s nice 
but:
It also seems a large part of the audience is misinterpreting the contents of the videos. Come to think of it, that might be explained because the vids were intended as mostly self-explanatory and aren’t placed in their correct context. I failed big-time there.
That shook me a bit, so i blocked access to them temporary to figure out a way to put them in the right perspective. In every way it is NOT my intention to “train” wannabe hackers. Neither is it my intention to stimulate people in criminal activities. The vids might be seen as manuals to abuse systems, but the actual content can’t be used in that way. Trouble is, people still think it can.
I’ll reopen access when I’ve figured out a good way and add more content when I’m satisfied with a method.
Hints and tips would be welcome though.
