You probably heard about me because I am the founder of the Twisted python networking engine open source project. But I’m also the author and maintainer of several other smaller projects, a writer and public speaker about software and the things software affects (i.e.: everything), and a productivity nerd due to my ADHD. I also post a lot about politics; I’d personally prefer to be apolitical but unfortunately the global rising tide of revanchist fascism is kind of dangerous to ignore.

I was a captain in the United States Air Force who formally trained as an intelligence officer. I later worked in information warfare. I promoted the concept that "prevention eventually fails" in my first book (2004) and developed tactics, operations, and strategy to detect and respond to nation-state and criminal computer intrusions. I wrote about cybersecurity from 2001 to 2021. I created the GE-CIRT and was Mandiant's first CISO. I currently advocate for @corelight. My latest books are here amzn.to/3B2AcMc
