For this fifth edition in a
series of advice columns for folks interested in learning more about security as a craft or profession, I interviewed
Charlie Miller, a software bug-finder extraordinaire and principal research consultant with
Accuvant LABS.
Probably best known for his skills at hacking
Apple‘s products, Miller spent five years at the
National Security Agency as a “global network exploitation analyst.” After leaving the NSA, Miller carved out a niche for himself as an independent security consultant before joining Accuvant in May 2011.
