"Between 2009 and particularly after the end of 2010, the Australian tax office made my life difficult. The two companies I had founded ended up in liquidation as result. I spent over $1 million in legal fees, and with accounting and other losses I think the totals came to around 3 million lost. The Australian tax office started bankruptcy proceedings during the process. They began in association with the dispute over tax."

Craig Wright certainly qualifies as a security hero! He has written articles and books on security and has nearly every SANS and GIAC certificate available (including platinum). He is a GIAC Technical Director, and jack-of-all-trades, master of a few, and all of us at the security laboratory thank him for his time! 

Craig, I see that you are qualified in a number of disciplines including having just completed a master’s degree in law. So why did you choose information security? 
When I was young, information security didn’t really exist as a career. I started doing some simple programming tasks and moved into a role as a SunOS 4.1 administrator. We had a custom developed database on the system and, at that point, security was generally the least of anyone's concerns. I had been tasked with ensuring that the data on the system remained secure and that the system was available, but there was no budget for security. Back in the days before the Web, Gopher proved a great tool for finding information. What I started learning about back then was just how many vulnerabilities exist. 

I got into a little bit of trouble from time to time when I would demonstrate some of the vulnerabilities. This led to a reputation as the guy who could "break into stuff" - something that was both good and bad. When systems needed to be configured I would be consulted, but I also found that I was would be blamed when anything went wrong.

So, of course, when firewalls came about in the mid-90s, I was the one that they where handed to. I stayed in security as it is something that I do well and it allows me to give back to the community. 


So, how did you learn about firewalls back then?
Back then it was even more of the wild wild web than now. I cringe at some of the things we did. I started by putting together bits and pieces that I'd dug up and basically cobbled together a halfway decent firewall using the firewall Toolkit. Back then code was available, and a lot simpler, so much of the learning process was really playing. This followed when I started working for an ISP. I was basically given a copy of Checkpoint firewall-1 version 2 and expected to know it by the end of the week.

This wasn't as bad as it seemed since having worked with the firewall Toolkit and Gauntlet, I found Checkpoint to be easy. 


What about "security cowboys" in the 90s? Back then it seemed that the security methodology was to download some security tool that compiled on a Sun 3, how were those times for you?

 
In the 90s most of us were, basically, cowboys. Back then, methodologies didn't exist; and if you wanted some level of functionality, you had to make it yourself. Mistakes were a common occurrence, but what really mattered was if you learned from those mistakes. The biggest change for me was taking a role in the Australian Stock Exchange where I managed the firewalls and other security devices. Working in an environment with a six 9's requirement for uptime was a real eye-opener."

¡Craig Wright ciertamente califica como un héroe de seguridad! Ha escrito artículos y libros sobre seguridad y tiene casi todos los certificados SANS y GIAC disponibles (incluido el platino). Él es un Director Técnico de GIAC y es un maestro de todos los oficios, maestro de algunos, ¡y todos nosotros en el laboratorio de seguridad le agradecemos su tiempo!

Craig, veo que estás calificado en una serie de disciplinas que incluyen haber completado una maestría en derecho. Entonces, ¿por qué eligió la seguridad de la información?
Cuando era joven, la seguridad de la información no existía realmente como una carrera. Comencé a realizar algunas tareas de programación simples y pasé a desempeñar una función como administrador de SunOS 4.1. Teníamos una base de datos desarrollada a medida en el sistema y, en ese momento, la seguridad era generalmente la menor preocupación de todos. Se me había encomendado garantizar que los datos del sistema permanecieran seguros y que el sistema estuviera disponible, pero no había presupuesto para la seguridad. En los días anteriores a la Web, Gopher demostró ser una gran herramienta para encontrar información. Lo que comencé a aprender en ese entonces era solo cuántas vulnerabilidades existen.

De vez en cuando me metía en un pequeño problema cuando demostraba algunas de las vulnerabilidades. Esto llevó a una reputación como el tipo que podía "meterse en cosas", algo que era bueno y malo a la vez. Cuando los sistemas necesitaban ser configurados, me consultaban, pero también descubrí que me culparían cuando algo salía mal.

Así que, por supuesto, cuando surgieron los cortafuegos a mediados de los 90, fui yo quien los entregó. Me mantuve en seguridad porque es algo que hago bien y me permite devolverle a la comunidad.


Entonces, ¿cómo aprendiste sobre los cortafuegos en ese entonces?
En ese entonces era incluso más de la web salvaje que ahora. Me estremezco con algunas de las cosas que hicimos. Comencé juntando fragmentos y piezas que había desenterrado y, básicamente, improvisé un cortafuegos medio decente utilizando el kit de herramientas de firewall. En aquel entonces, el código estaba disponible, y mucho más simple, gran parte del proceso de aprendizaje realmente se estaba reproduciendo. Esto siguió cuando empecé a trabajar para un ISP. Básicamente me dieron una copia de Checkpoint firewall-1 versión 2 y esperaba saberlo para el final de la semana.

Esto no fue tan malo como parecía desde que trabajé con el kit de herramientas de firewall y Gauntlet, encontré que Checkpoint era fácil.


¿Qué pasa con los ""security cowboys"" en los años 90? En aquel entonces, parecía que la metodología de seguridad era descargar alguna herramienta de seguridad que se compilaba en un Sun 3, ¿cómo fueron esos momentos para ti?


En los años 90 la mayoría de nosotros éramos, básicamente, vaqueros. En aquel entonces, las metodologías no existían; y si querías algún nivel de funcionalidad, tenías que hacerlo tú mismo. Los errores eran una ocurrencia común, pero lo que realmente importaba era si aprendía de esos errores. El mayor cambio para mí fue tomar un papel en la Bolsa de Valores de Australia, donde administré los cortafuegos y otros dispositivos de seguridad. Trabajar en un entorno con un requisito de seis 9 para el tiempo de actividad fue una verdadera revelación ".
