Michael Echlin Email & Phone Number

I make it work.I've been "doing"​ this computer thing since high school in the late 70's. in the early 1990's I ran my own computer consultancy until my health issues made me move to clean air. I have worked at CNL ever since (it wasn't called CNL then) and have been grateful that there exists a place where I can be at the bleeding edge of computer technology and science and have clean air to breathe.I started into security when I was on my own, for clients who had offices world wide and didn't know that they were exposed. This was in 1993. Nobody was doing cyber security much, but I was. I started an interest in cyber security when viruses like Michaelangelo and Friday the thirteenth were making the rounds.I program in almost every major programming language, do quality assurance to nuclear standards and seem to have no problem stepping in to breathe new life into abandoned projects. I do quite well reverse engineering and reading code. I build my own computers, write my own software, administer networks and computers, more Linux than Windows and I test everything for security. My favourite Linux for the ideas is Arch, but the one I use most is Xubuntu. I use RedHat for servers, ipfire for perimeter security and honeyd for catching annoying insects and lebrea for messing with malware writers heads. I customised conpot for the environment I specifically work in. So, yeah, I make it work.

Listed skills include Computer Programming, Cyber Security, Full Life Cycle Development, Linux System Administration, and 18 others.
