About Kyle Stone

30+ Years of building, defending, breaking, architecting, and solving complex SaaS platforms with high-performance UNIX computing. I wrote a letter to MIT when I was eight and they snail-mailed credentials to Athena.mit.edu, back to me.*My motto is:* “Dream big. Nothing is Impossible. Difficult takes a week, impossible takes a month (or three).” Robert Heinlein once wrote,\"Specialization is for insects.\" My father likes to append that with \"And hand tools. You\'re not a tool, are you, Son?\". Dad jokes are his repertoire and possibly, mine. I\'ll probably be tinkering on something any of my six kids on any given day but I\'d be reading,(re)building a deck, a grill, a classic/modern car, or writing a nice (I think :D ) guitar solo at any given moment alone. I\'ve volunteered, organized, and participated in positions from the executive board to pre-conference social events, and from this I have many friends, in several infosec circles. Infosec Conferences I’ve Staffed: CircleCityCon, B-SidesIN/TN, DEF CON/SKYTALKS, DerbyCon, HAK4KIDZ (Donate I discovered a worm-able exploit impacting critical infrastructure and worked with US-CERT ICSA to responsibly disclose the exploit you can read about it here: ICSA - CVSSv2 score of 10 I gave a talk about it at DerbyCon with Liam Randall in 2013, also about the topic, you can see here Highlights:**R&D ENG*- Build and Deployed the world\'s first multi-tenant commercial VOIP platform - Sold for $120M in 2011.*NETSEC ENG*- Authored FIPS 140-2 OpenVPN Platform @ 2K Law Enforcement Clients saving over $2M in OpEx per Year.*ABUSE ENG*- Authored Anti-Abuse Service Suspended - 1.1/56% Millions Accounts to date *SYS ENG*- Authored Net-booting Container Runtime Hosts in (FreeBSD Jails)- Automated 6K+ work hours/year.*RED TEAM*- Scanned the Internet multiple times @~45 minutes per port - Reduced Operational Scan Runtime by 98%*“Security Weekly“* interviewed me here about scanning the Internet.
