CIRT.net

dave flew solo on the Nikto project for nearly two years and now denies that he co-runs it with Sullo, though he adds stuff when interesting things happen and his development server doesn't blow up (it's amazing how many times that happens).

dave has been in the security industry for too long. Originally hacking games, then a developer, then sysadmin, then generic dogsbody and finally penetration tester.

Chris Sullo

Chris started CIRT.net in the "futuristic" year 2000 as a place to house the default password and port databases. In 2001, he wrote and released Nikto, which quickly became one of the most popular open source web security tools.

Michel Chamberland has released a search add-on for Firefox that allows you to directly search the default password database directly. It's pretty straight-forward, but I like things that save time... and this does.

Just a quick note that I've decided this whole "blog" thing isn't just a fad, so I've started writing over at the work blog since, well, they pay me. So go subscribe.
