He has been a frequent Bugtraq poster since late in the 1990s,[1] noted for one of the first published successful software exploits for the format string bug class of attacks,[2][3] just after the first exploit of the person using nickname tf8.[4][5] Until that time the vulnerability was thought harmless.
