The 2008 Pwnie Nominee For Lifetime Achievement Award

John McDonald

You may know John McDonald (horizon) from his Solaris/SPARC non-exec stack exploitation technique and for co-authoring The Art of Software Security Assessment (which is so much better than The Art of Software Security Testing). What you don’t know is that he also makes the best cafe latte in the United Kingdom.
