-Linus announced Linux v2.0 on Usenet-
Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin
really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a
angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful
about what they say if they had.-- Linus Torvalds

Oh, where do I start. I
use to be a full-time rock/ice climber, then I bought a computer at Walmart. I had played
with computers when I was 11-13 years old. So computers weren't entirely a new
passion, just a GIANT LEAP FORWARD IN TIME from the Apple IIc and the Atari 400.
Toast to all those who remember the applecat modem, blue boxing,
dial up text only bbss, the first mouse, box hacking and phreaking, the famous
crack pages of the infamous Capt Crunch, the video game Captain Goodnight, and the good
old 5.25" disk. There seems only to be a few of you folks left. And dear heavens, I would love to chat with you if ya live in my state and remember
things like The Frozen Wizard, The Freeze, The Farm, The Pirates Guild, for it's been a long time.
So I had played with windows ME for about five months on that HP walmart special (I still have that computer). Then
one day a linux cd arrived in my mailbox and was then installed on that computer. I, a armchair scientist at heart have stuck to linux ever since then and have never turned
back. Now I enjoy making a living working as a network engineer and security technician. Linux being my workstation of choice. I enjoy
the science of routing, switching and network security. I maintain a fairly large honeynet too, so intrusion forensics is a passion as well.
I know a few programming languages at the administrator level - I'm certainly not a programmer. I also enjoy water cooling and overclocking my personal computers.
One of the coolest things about linux is the people who use it. Some of the most knowledgeable linux folks I have ever come across, are nearly always willing to help another user understand something, the forums are a testament to this. It is amazing to me, you can see the users stand upon one another's solutions. Some have compared it to certain Eastern religions.
I now somtimes seem to explain my world view in the common syntax that is found in the manual pages. THANK YOU Linus Torvalds.
-Why I don't use microsoft windows as my primary workstation-
Life is about experiencing it, with windows my creative faculty hits a wall.
I can compile the latest kernel with thought alone.
Because my employer is awesome!
Forces users to use a GUI, thus a weight is placed on the users feet.
I have issues with authority, I see holes in it.
Feels like a sinking ship as the days go by.
The desktop is to close to the kernel for my likes.
Security and runtime issues....
I see M$ as a disposable OS. Which leads to disposable computers. Which lead to more pollution.
They prey upon consumers, that's scary folks!
It reminds me that I live in a world where nearly everyone is being taken advantage of, by means of some kinda or another social engineering tactic.
-Why I may use windows-
Strictly MS gaming.
Others do.
I like to study exploits and vulnerabilities.
I have issues with authority, I see holes in it.

-A fun hack-
Install http://www.sveasoft.com firmware on to a Linksys wrt54g access point, then connect a 12 db omni on to a tripod. Connect the omni to the access point with lmr400 coax, fire up kismet on the access point and keep track of the neighborhood wireless networks. Sorta like a IDS.

-Linksys WCF12 Compact Flash Wireless antenna card hack-
These cards are fairly cheap on ebay, so go for this hack. Open up the antenna end to expose the board, solder remove the antenna that's in place; small yellow brick looking thing. Purchase or build a RP-TNC pigtail (got mine off of a bricked Cisco Aironet 350) and solder this in place. The big pad I used for the sheath and the small pad I used for the core of the coax (it works (shrug)). The results in Kismet are very noticeable, I pick up APs a Kilometer or more away with my Zaurus ;) Now the continued health of my Zaurus I know not, but those are kinda cheap on ebay too ;) At the end I use cardboard with electrical tape to support the pigtail weight.
