"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants"
Most famously attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, this quote reflects the sentiment of this project. All of us in the field of information security stand on the shoulders of giants, this project is dedicated to shining a light on those shoulders- the known and unknown. Initially focusing on early contributors to InfoSec, the project will continue to grow with community support.
Contact email is info[at]shouldersofinfosec.org Please email comments, remembrances, anecdotes, and references to add to the body of knowledge. If you would like to contribute to this project on an ongoing basis, please request membership and help maintain the wiki.
