NYC. Application Security guy at Mozilla. I probably have an official job title but I'm not sure what it is.

My most notable public contribution to the security world is probably FuzzDB which is useful for testing all of the things in combination with the tools of your choice. It aggregates known attack patterns, predictable resource names, server response messages, and other resources into the most comprehensive Open Source database of malicious and malformed input test cases. https://code.google.com/p/fuzzdb/

Long-time lurker, finally decided to make an account.

Linkedin which I almost never look at: www.linkedin.com/in/adammuntner/

Not only that, people ask very pointed and potentially embarrassing questions at company meetings. Everything is in the open at Mozilla. After spending more than a decade and a half in corporate America, it's very, very refreshing.

As a long-time lurker but new user, I see little reason to ever even attempt to participate on a forum with moderation rules like this. This may be speculation but I'm guessing many others would make the same cost/benefit analysis.

tptacek is exactly right. Not to put words in his mouth, but "nothing more than" is your characterization of what he said as opposed to what he actually said. The history tptacek is describing goes back to the 1980s: use your favorite search engine to look for the name "Richard Sanzda" for a poignant example.
