Rest in Peace: 11/09/77 – 04/01/08
What can I say bro? You inspired me, you guided me, and you got me started on the passion in my life. The journey started way back in 2004, heck probably 2003. I was probably just a sophomore in high school when you really got me started focusing on security.
It all started with "by the way, your dad’s email is unencrypted" – and me being foolish enough to challenge you. Needless to say, I never doubted your trust or honesty one bit. You taught me the basics of Linux and UNIX, you taught me my first exploit (and how I still think of those days whenever I hear "ptrace"). You were the inspiration behind my entire career, goals, and even dare I say – life. I’m where I am today because of you, Rob.
You lived up to your name every hour of every day. You actually did change lives, and if not multiple – at least mine. The dreams (and ideas) that you had for H3C will always live on in your honor. RIP man …
