Rodrigo Montoro (Sp0oKeR)
termsecurityprogramming
Brazilian researcher known as Sp0oKeR, long associated with intrusion detection and detection engineering, and the author of one of the two 2010 lists - his own roster of Brazilian security people on Twitter - that first mapped the community.
He belongs to the detection side of the field rather than the offensive one, which is under-represented in hacker history everywhere: the people who write the rules that catch the attack rarely get the conference legend treatment. His long presence in the Brazilian scene, and the fact that two independent practitioners felt the need to index the community in the same month of 2010, says something about how invisible the scene was to itself before that.
Also known as: spooker, spookerlabs, deteccao, snort rules
