Deviant Ollam's first and strongest love has always been teaching. A graduate of the New Jersey Institute of Technology's Science, Technology, & Society program, he is always fascinated by the interplay that connects human values and social trends to developments in the technical world. While earning his BS degree at NJIT, Deviant also completed the History degree program at Rutgers University.
While paying the bills as a security auditor and penetration testing consultant with The CORE Group, Deviant is also a member of the Board of Directors of the US division of TOOOL, The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers. Every year at DEFCON and ShmooCon Deviant runs the Lockpicking Village, and he has conducted physical security training sessions at Black Hat, DeepSec, ToorCon, HackCon, ShakaCon, HackInTheBox, CanSecWest, ekoparty, and the United States Military Academy at West Point. His favorite Amendments to the US Constitution are, in no particular order, the 1st, 2nd, 9th, & 10th. Twitter: @DeviantOllam
Safe to Armed in Seconds: A Study of Epic Fails of Popular Gun Safes
Deviant Ollam is a value-sized bucketful of free fun who enjoys all things related to physical security and many things that aren't. Among the non-lock and non-gun things that he adores are taro smoothies, reindeer meat, jersey-knit bedsheets, and surprise hugs. He will totally rock on in karaoke at everything from the Ramones to the Grateful Dead to Joan Jett to Frank Sinatra to Lynyrd Skynyrd so hand him a drink and pass him the microphone.
