Pete Herzog

Pete Herzog is the shining example of a hacker trying to fix the world. He built a career out of taking apart the security world piece by piece to figure out how it works (but he still can’t put it back together). Then he writes about it, a lot. You can find articles and projects from him all over the place, especially at the non-profit research organization, ISECOM.org, he co-founded in 2001 to help make this happen. There you’ll find his work with the OSSTMM, Hacker Highschool, and the Cybersecurity Playbook. Pete also teaches training classes, coaches corporations on cybersecurity, analyzes the security for Smart Cities and IoT, develops security products, advises start-ups, and hacks things.
