Jack's online personality:

Four days after his 'prophile' appeared in the eZine Phrack, a group of elite blackhats with strong ties to high-profile criminal organizations offered Ritalin a place amongst them. This was back in 2007. Jack dropped his handle after that, feeling that his online pseudonym was compromised. He continued to stay away from the scene 'til things settled down, and came back several months later under a few new aliases.

This is an excerpt from the Phrack archives, released sometime in November of that year.

Your current life in a paragraph

Hacking, eating, pissing, shitting, sleeping, showering, reading, coding, chilling. Exploiting vulns then killing them, since redundancy is sweet if you're having fun. Rinse and repeat.

First contact with computers

I was 5.

Entrance in the underground

Back when 4chan was new and IRC killed time, the people I messed around with were already hacking TCP/IP networks, exploiting bugs and eating the CISSP for breakfast. Before that, I studied programming and IT Security from this guy who used to be a software engineer for the NSA. He's retired since then and I can't tell you what he does now. It took approximately 1 year, 3 months and 14 days for me to be acknowledged by the community, according to you blackhats. But I'm not looking for acknowledgment. I just want the lulz, 'cause life is too short not to laugh.

Personal general opinion about the underground

The whitehats vs blackhats thing, I really couldn't give two shits.

Unix or Windows?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Memorable people you have met

Um, other than my mentor, can't say since I'm not prone to RL meetings with anyone I know online.

People

Password Protected: LAWRENCE BRADLEY

A former software engineer for the National Security Agency, Lawrence Bradley was what you would call a first-class government employee, with access to just about all of the classified data your average citizen would never be able to set eyes upon. An alumnus of Stanford with a bachelor's in Mathematics and another in Computer Science, he was snatched up by the NSA right after completing both undergraduate studies, specializing in cryptography for a few years.

Soon thereafter, the department director moved Lawrence to work for the NCSC in 1982, after he expressed his desire to resign. He grew disinterested in the field of cryptography, but his skills were far too valuable for the agency to simply let him go. Once the transfer was made, Bradley enjoyed his job very much and became the leading security expert for the department, which was responsible for evaluating computer equipment for confidential applications.

Nearly a decade passed before Lawrence's skills were needed elsewhere, and he was asked by the NSA heads to engineer software that would strengthen their internal network. He developed several notable projects including TERRA and REMUS for the Information Assurance Directorate, as well as a brand-new encryption system for the agency, but complications with the high-tech conglomerate Delcorp drove him into early retirement.
