Computer security researcher

Ciro Santilli found out that he likes computer security researchers and vice versa.

It's a bit the same reason why he likes physicists: you can't bullshit with security.

You can't just talk nice and hope for people to belive you.

You can't not try to break things and just keep everyone happy in their false illusion of safety.

You can't do a half job.

If you do any of that, you will get your ass handed to you in a little gift bag.

All of this is closely linked to Ciro Santilli's self perceived creative personality and being naughty and creative are correlated.

A superstar security researcher with some major exploits from in the 2000's.

Oh yeah, that felt good. A few months before he died.
