Hi G33ks,
Interview with Mr.C.S. Lee (Core Member – HeX LiveCD). *Naik:* Can you tell us about yourself Mr.Lee *Lee:* I'm human from earth, not alien. Maybe I'm alien in the eyes of other aliens in other planets but that don't count. Most people know me as geek00l but I'm C.S.Lee. Compare to the rest of the guys, I'm kinda late into security field, or to be exact computing. I have chance to play around with computer stuffs when I was 21 years old because of working in cyber cafe. I'm lucky enough to stop my study in local University and focus on computing. I'm a self learner and pick up most of the stuffs from internet, back then I use a lot of astalavista, yahoo and some other search engines to look for information and study. *Naik:* Can you share us with your views in Security and Forensics *Lee:* My view in computer security is simple enough. Why do we need security(not only we need security in computing but general)? Because we human being is flawed, you can't expect the imperfect human being to create perfect thing, and hence introduces weakness in any creation. *Lee:* Forensics on the other hand is more like the aftermath study, you perform analysis based on what is available at particular time. You focus a lot on post-processing and report what you find. One thing I find interesting is people like logic and tend to think they are right, in forensics you can't apply your own logic to the subject you are analyzing, you should follow your subject's logic in order to find out the real motives behind every single action. *Naik:* Have you ever been a victim to Cyber Attack *Lee:* Victim of cyber attack? Indirectly yes. I load malware to my sandbox and I'm infected ;) If you want me to give you exact answer, I can't really tell. Back then when I used Windows I might not even know if I'm victim. If you are talking about serious victim, I haven't been one yet. *Naik:* Could you briefly let us know about your projects *Lee:* I do various IT-Security projects - some commercial and some open source. I involve in HeX system, NSM-Console, Picviz, Splunk plugin and some other projects. All of them are interesting to me. Most of the projects are security related but can be applied for other domain, for example picviz allows you to visualize not only IT security data but financial data as well. *Naik:* Can you share us with yor most accomplising work *Lee:* No idea regarding my most accomplished work, I involve in some other projects I'm really proud of but NDA not allows me to share about them. Anyway I'm happy doing open source stuffs *Naik:* Your secret behind actively replying to posts in various groups *Lee:* No secret ;) subscribe and follow mailing list, group them properly in your email so that you can keep them in order. On the other hand, keep good list of rss feeds for IT security sites. IT security is never sleep industry and you need to always keeping track of the threat landscape. *Naik:* Any suggestion/ideas you would let to know for newbies *Lee:* For whoever want to enter IT security industry, unfortunately there's no shortcut. The most important thing you need to have is not knowledge but passion, with passion you will keep going on no matter how tough it is ;) *Naik:* Do's and Dont's for a succesful carrier in Security & Forensics *Lee:* Do & Don't, Don't ask silly question before you do your part(study and research on certain subject). This industry is not for lazy people, apparently. *Naik:* Finally, what makes you feel attention in Cyber World *Lee:* The attention, this is interesting question indeed. I guess it is the threat landscape, it keeps changing and evolving from time to time with countermeasures applied and I need to watch them ;) *Naik:* Is there anything else you would like to tell us. *Lee:* All for now, thank you! *More about Mr. Lee:* http://www.blogger.com/profile/10778262436985693992 http://www.securitydistro.com/security-articles/Interview-with-C.S.-Lee-creator-of-HeX http://groups.google.com/group/HeX-liveCD http://geek00l.blogspot.com/ Cheers, 0xN41K -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nforceit" group.
