In 2010 Mudge accepted a position as a program manager at DARPA where he oversaw cyber security research, and re-built the Agency's approach to cyber security research. In 2013 Mudge went to work for Google as Deputy Director of their Advanced Technology & Projects division. Then he received a call from the White House and ran off to create a non-profit organization that he isn't talking to people about. Way prior to all of that, Mudge did this little thing called 'the L0pht'.
He is the recipient of the highest medal that the Office of the Secretary of Defense can bestow on a civilian, an honorary Plank Owner of the US Navy Destroyer DDG-85, officially recognized by the EOP and CIA for contributing to critical national missions, and was inducted into the Order of Thor, the US Army's Association of Cyber Military Professionals. While he's really flattered by all of that, he thinks maybe they have him confused with somebody else. Either way, his mission remains the same: 'make a dent in the universe'.

as Mudge
Mudge enjoys contributing to the security researcher community. In addition to pioneering buffer overflow work, the earlier security work he released contained some of the first examples of flaws in: code injection, race conditions, side-channel attacks, exploitation of embedded systems, and cryptanalysis of commercial systems. He was the original author of the password cracking software L0phtCrack.
