About the author

UPDATE: Check out my new page at http://writequit.org !

Hi, I’m Matthew Lee Hinman (call me Lee),

I’m currently working as a Sysadmin at a storage company. I am very interested in security as well as the development of security tools (mostly in scripting langugaes like Perl and Ruby). I have written a few tools myself (aimsnarf and nsm-console so far). I enjoy working with Linux, BSD and Solaris, and I tolerate working with Windows . I am involved in the development of the Hex NSM liveCD.

I also do photography, although I have been very busy lately.

If you want to contact me, use the information in the small blurb on the upper-right of the main page. If you want to hang out and chat, feel free to join myself and all the Hex guys in #rawpacket on irc.freenode.net.

Curious about the title? “:wq” is a Vim command to save the current file, then quit. The most often used vim command for myself

Curious about the name? “Thnetos” is a Greek word meaning “Liable to die, of or having mortality”. A daily reminder that I am only a mere mortal.

Curious about the quote? “Tu fui, ego eris” is a Latin quote meaning “What you are, I was. What I am, you will be”, I thought it appropriate for the teaching/learning relationship I hope my blog posts bring.

If you absolutely must know what I look like, you can see a picture of me here.
