DilDog

DilDog joined the L0pht shortly after graduating from MIT, leaving his job at a major bank to work on a password cracker in a warehouse with a bunch of hacker misfits. Thankfully, that wasn't as ridiculous as it sounded, and it turned out that L0phtCrack would be kind of a big deal. He's still the primary maintainer of the codebase today, 20 years later. Also at L0pht and @stake, he developed AntiSniff, a promiscuous-mode device detection system, wrote a bunch of security advisories, and developed a fine cDc-brand remote administration tool named Back Orifice 2000. Also at L0pht and throughout the @stake acquisition, he developed an automated software decompilation system that would become the core of the static analysis technology for the startup he and Chris Wysopal would found in 2006, Veracode.
