interviews Solar
Designer, creator of the John the Ripper password cracker.
"
Solar Designer: For the past 9 years I've been spending much of my
time on computer and network security. In particular, I've been developing
free Unix security tools and other (non-security) software designed to be
safe to use, as well as making existing software and technologies safer to
use (discovering, dealing with, and sometimes publicizing vulnerabilities
whenever that seemed appropriate). This is what the Openwall Project is about."
