A refreshing new direction

For those of you who don't know me, I have been a developer and computer security enthusiast for many years. I have been involved in computer security, specifically, for the last ten years. The first six years were as an independent research and hobbyist. I have spent the last four years working professionally as a software vulnerability researcher.

Tomorrow I will become the latest addition to the Metasploit and Rapid7 team, filling the Exploit Developer position. I am truly honored to have the chance to be part of such a talented team. Contributing to the Metasploit Framework has been a wish of mine for a while. Now, with countless thanks to Rapid7 and HD Moore, I get to do it full time!

I am very excited to have the opportunity to combine two of my passions (development and computer security) to ensure that more code exists which executes code! I look forward to finding out what wonders the future holds!

Hey, You've got quite the technical background. I would love it if you guys would make an exploit for ms07-063. In our office, theres a big hole there, but i want to be able to actually prove it in a way that makes them ralize that it needs fixing. Anyways, if you want a place to start out, that would be a good one ;) Thanks.

@William Monk:

If they are vulnerable to MS07-063 then they'd be vulnerable to MS09-050, no?
