Hey guys, I'm the guy who located the vulnerability in Twitter and spread the first worm and the last 7...8 of them?

mikeyy··on I didn't make it, will someone else take me?
Hey RiderOfGiraffes, it's not much and I'm not really impressed by it, but my biggest "accomplishment" gained media attention. I believe it was irresponsible. I've grown past it and have decided to put my strive in finding vulnerabilities and coding scripts to replicate certain methods to something more productive. What was less recognized, yet what I put the most work into was a complete remake of Twitter with extra features such as the ability to snap an image from a webcam, including recording a video straight from the browser as Youtube has now.

After the attention, I took down everything. Slowly backed away from the scene for a little while, my mistake. It's been a hard time trying to find way to do something I want without the money or support.

I have ideas where I wanted to create a profiling website, called Whothey.be, where a community of members input information for other members or people. With no way of supporting the hosting and what not, I've never been able to try and create such a thing.

Also a website I had up since around last Nov. till March, called MyTrueColor. It was focused around members posting anonymously or public revealing their secrets.

I have many other ideas, but I either I have no means of supporting it or I'm just not really hopeful about it.

Hey, I uploaded it for you on scribd. http://www.scribd.com/full/31453326?access_key=key-1ar7q299r...

Thank you!

I will get back to working on the resume sometime during this week and get back in touch with you as well as tptacek, hopefully I can get a shot at something!

Thank you for the response, I will keep these details in mind.

The GitHub similar site was http://www.kinspir.com/, which I helped them back in April of 2009.

I won two competitions in my area, which were C++ and VB.Net when I was in the 9th grade, first place for both of those competitions. I then went to state to compete against around 50 other contestants in each of those languages and got 2nd place and 4th place in the state. Wasn't able to compete at any FBLA competitions during my whole high school year, since I had an expulsion from school at the end of my 9th grade year.

Point taken.

From that viewpoint I agree, it makes it much more clear. I'll have to keep a note on my forehead to not tell people my age since it's irrelevant.

Woah, thanks for the feedback. Out of everyone, I've got the most from you and it really is going to help me out when I get back to making it a final draft.

So...concise but informative. Got it!

Are you an employer? :)

Darn, I was too late! I'm glad you liked it though.

Oh, I completely agree with you on the "paper graduates". I find myself to be very social, I don't let my ego go over my head, after all there is no reason to.

I did get pretty carried away with what I was going for. I was going brain dead from trying to think of what and how to write it, so I came to ask for HN's help. :)

Hey, thanks for the tips!

I agree that I should lean more toward the frontend side...

EDIT: I just looked up the actually term for the two, hah.

My age and the mention of PornHub really is irrelevant, I agree, I'll remove that now.

So it's basically more toward how I have everything laid out besides what my actual skills are? Shitty.
