HD Moore Unplugged

Via DarkReading -

HD Moore got his first real job in security research eight years ago, at the tender age of 17. He worked for the U.S. Department of Defense.

Today, most everything Moore, 25, does is watched closely by the commercial world, especially by software companies like Microsoft. His Metasploit penetration testing software has been hailed as a crucial tool for security white hats (the black hats love it, too), and his memorable Month of Browser Bugs (MOBB) project and other vulnerability discoveries and disclosures at times have put him at odds with Microsoft. (See Getting Buggy with the MOBB.) All of this activity has made him one of the most respected -- and sometimes criticized -- security researchers.

Meanwhile, Moore's rock star status is about to go Hollywood (yes, really). The upcoming Die Hard sequel with Bruce Willis will feature an evil hacker named "evil hax0r" who takes down the U.S. infrastructure using the Metasploit tool. Moore can't help rooting for the bad guy: "Who needs marketing with movies like this?"
