He should work for Homeland Security
Frank Janosko was sentenced to 18 months for hacking a prison computer while he was incarcerated at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility (PFFC) in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He was granted access to the "thin client" computer that only ran a program to allow inmates to do legal research. Mr. Janosko used a quirk in the software to send email and find information on over a thousand PFFC employees. I talked Monday about the U.S. government having trouble finding people with cyber security skills. This guys looks like a natural born pentester. Maybe they should hire him.

He would fit in just fine with this administation.
ReplyDeleteHe might be the most competent person involved with national security, if they hired him.
ReplyDeleteI think you have it wrong, he could have been Chief of Staff for W. Bush. Or, maybe he could work for Kent (republican lobbyist) Hance and help him rid the school of football coaches and replace them with people like Alberto (I can't remember) Gonzales who makes $100k a year for teaching 3 hours a week to 15 kids. GET REAL PEOPLE and lets clean out the administration building at Tech so we aren't the laughing stock iof the U. S.
ReplyDeletefeaco, I pretty much agree with you. When it came to real security Bush wasn't that great. We still have the communication problems that kept the 911 terrorists from being stopped, while tapping the entire countries phone lines (or pretty much so, anyway) against both the US Constitution and law governing how intelligence agencies in the US can monitor citizens. But up to this point the Obama administration isn't any better.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, if most of what I've read is true, you're right about Tech, too.
