Daniel J. Burroughs

Daniel first became interested in computer security shortly after getting a 300 baud modem to connect his C64 to the outside world. Since that time he has moved on to bigger and (somewhat) better things. These have included work in virtual reality systems at the Institute for Simulation and Training at the University of Central Florida, high speed hardware motion control software for laser engraving systems, parallel and distributed simulation research at Dartmouth College, and most recently distributed intrusion detection and analysis at the Institute for Security Technology Studies. He is also the proud owner of a DefCon leather jacket won at Hacker Jeopardy at DefCon 8. Institute for Security Technology Studies (www.ists.dartmouth.edu) Investigative Research for Infrastructure Assurance (www.ists.dartmouth.edu/IRIA) The Institute and its core program on cyber-security and information infrastructure protection research serve as a principal national center for counter-terrorism technology research, development and assessment. It is funded by the U.S. Justice Department's National Institute of Justice, Office of Science and Technology to which it will also provide technical support. The Institute studies and develops technologies addressing counter-terrorism especially including counter-cyber terrorism issues in the areas of threat characterization and intelligence, threat detection and interdiction, preparedness and protection, response, and recovery.
