Brian Martin has been studying, collecting, and cataloging vulnerabilities for 15 years, personally and professionally. Starting with a personal collection organized in the FILES.BBS format and ultimately becoming the Content Manager of the Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB), he has pushed for the evolution of VDBs for years. If his business card could read "Vulnerability Historian", it would. Brian has been involved in all aspects of the vulnerability disclosure process, including finding new vulnerabilities, exploiting software (legally and illegally), writing advisories, coordinating disclosure, and working with a variety of organizations to improve vulnerability handling and response. Additionally, Brian is known for his work on attrition.org, a hobby web-site that has provided critical commentary on the dismal state of the information security industry.
