Public Sector Coffee Hour with Peiter 'Mudge' Zatgo



The Public sector Coffee Hour series is a bi-weekly videocast featuring luminaries from technology, society and the world of STEM. Topics for discussion will include governmental and societal impacts of technology, open source in Sci/Tech/Med., as well as the role of technology and work/life balance.
 
Peiter C. Zatko, better known as Mudge, is a network security expert, open source programmer, writer, and a hacker. He was the most prominent member of the high-profile hacker think tank the L0pht  as well as the long-lived computer and culture hacking cooperative the Cult of the Dead Cow.
 
While involved with the L0pht, Mudge contributed significantly to disclosure and education on information and security vulnerabilities. In addition to pioneering buffer overflow work, the security advisories he released contained early examples of flaws in the following areas: code injection, race condition, side-channel attack, exploitation of embedded systems, and cryptanalysis of commercial systems. He was the original author of the password cracking software L0phtCrack. Adam and Mudge will talk about the experiences working with the White House, testifying before congress about computer security, and the role that hacking communities have played in securing our national security.
