Lance Spitzner is a geek who constantly plays with computers, especially network security. He loves security because it is a constantly changing environment, your job is to do battle with the bad guys. This love for tactics first began in the Army, where he served for seven years. He served three years as an enlisted Infantryman in the National Guard and then four years as an Armor officer in the Army's Rapid Deployment Force. Following the Army he received his M.B.A and became involved in the world of information security. Now he fights the bad guys with IPv4 packets as opposed to 120mm SABOT rounds. His passion is researching honeypot technologies and using them to learn more about the enemy. He is founder of the Honeynet Project, moderator of the honeypot maillist, author of Honeypots: Tracking Hacker, co-author of Know Your Enemy and author of several whitepapers. He has also spoken at various conferences and organizations, including Blackhat, SANS, CanSecWest, the Pentagon, NSA, the FBI Academy, JTF-CNO, the President's Advisory Board, the Army War College, and Navy War College. He is a Senior Security Architect for Sun Microsystems Inc.

When not involved in network security he attempts to have as much fun as possible. He developed a love for Scuba Diving while in the Army, spending five months exploring dive sites in the remote islands of Indonesia. When not diving, he comes up with other excuses to get out, especially roller blading or hikinig. He also loves military history, especially the tools and tactics of medieval warfare. This is where he gets his interest for network security, as there are many similarities between securing a network and securing a castle.
