Daniel Burroughs first became interested in computer security shortly after getting a 300 baud modem to connect his C64 to the outside world. After getting kicked off his favorite BBS for "accidently" breaking into it, he decided that he needed to get smarter about such things. Since that time he has moved on to bigger and (somewhat) better things. These have included work in virtual reality systems at the Institute for Simulation and Training at the University of Central Florida, high speed hardware motion control software for laser engraving systems, parallel and distributed simulation research at Dartmouth College, distributed intrusion detection and analysis at the Institute for Security Technology Studies, and the development of a state-wide data sharing system for law enforcement agencies in Florida. Daniel was an associate professor of engineering at the University of Central Florida for 10 years prior to his current position as the Associate Technology Director for the Center for Law Enforcement Technology, Training, & Research. He also is a co-founder of Hoverfly Technologies, an aerial robotics company, and serves on the board of directors for Familab – a hackerspace located in Orlando. He is also the proud owner of two DefCon leather jackets won at Hacker Jeopardy at DEF CON 8 & 9 (as well as few hangovers from trying to win more).
