Well, as the saying goes, Great people are rarely famous, and famous people are rarely great.
People in the trenches fighting the good fight are rarely the ones putting their heads up to take flack from the MSM and press folks like Larry Seltzer. I know a guy that has come up with real, working, viable solutions to all sorts of web security vulnerabilities and he's entirely unknown. The people of this list, to a large extent, are famous for being well known, and working in the security industry.

And limiting the list to 15 hackers is a near-impossible task, but, in my mind, these are the folks who stand out today as stirring the imagination and forcing us to rethink our approach to security in an always-on world. The 15 Most Influential People in Security Today '1. Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team' '2. Ivan Krstic, One Laptop Per Child' '3. Chris Paget, IOActive' '4. Bunnie Huang, Bunnie Studios' '5. Michal Zalewski, Google' '6. Window Snyder' '7. The MOAB Hackers' '8. Dino Dai Zovi' '9. Michael Howard, Microsoft' '10. HD Moore, Metasploit ' '11. Dave Aitel, Immunity' '12. Bronwen Matthews, Microsoft' '13. John Pescatore, Gartner' '14. Rob Thomas and Team Cymru' '15. Stefan Esser, Hardened PHP Project' Do you agree with this list? Alex
