Welcome to my page, dear visitor! This is my humble place for storing my papers about my views and experience in the field of computer security. I have just improved a little bit the look of the page, including the new logo at the top. As you can see, I have a wicked sense of humor that you will find throughout my papers.
A little but about me: I started programming BASIC on a C-64 at age twelve, did some PASCAL at college. I (almost) have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Sciences (missing 3 credits in statistics ~shivers~), where I learned many other programming languages that I rarely use nowadays. This is mostly because I have done about 6 years experience administering and doing support on various systems related to the PC platform (Dos, Novell, OS/2, various Windows flavors), where I didn't have much opportunities to do programming. Still, my years at university game me a wide knowledge in the various fields of computer science, which is a good thing for « understanding how things work under the hood », to paraphrase a common saying in the hacker community.
I started studying security in the beginning of 2000, when I was at home on a burnout (which means I had plenty of time on my hands to read books and articles). A couple of months later, I started writing my own articles and put up this website. I am still fairly new at the whole security game, altough it has been one of my favorite topics for a long time. Some of them have been presented in international conferences, some others have been published in magazines or other hacking/security websites. So, here are the few papers I've done so far, I hope you enjoy reading them.
Keep checking back from time to time, as my new projects will keep being posted here.
Disregard that last sentence, I am not updating this page anymore. For updates (LogAgent 4.0 and ComLog 1.05), new tools (LogIDS 1.0) and new articles, please go to http://securit.iquebec.com/.
