What is your technical background? (Platforms, networking, programming) 
I have always been fascinated with computers, electronic gadgets and toys. When I got my first computer I got some experience with debugging the games that I had. Then I got a real PC, only for playing games, but that changed pretty soon when I found out that you could make some quick and easy money with designing logos and making advertisement folders and websites for companies. After doing this for a year I got bored with it and wanted to do more with computers. I started an IT course where i learned how to program in Pascal and C. On that school they also gave networking classes on unix systems, and that's when the fun really started. 

Estimate how much time your spend online a day. During that time what activities do you perform? 
I am connected 24/7 but I spend about 3-6 hrs a day behind the computer, I'm connected to our IRC server most of the time and usually i'm looking for stuff that interests me or i'm reading posts on messageboards that I visit everyday. Hacking is kinda inbetween everything else... 

Are you employed? If so what do you do for a living? 
Nope, I'm in the final year of my aviation study. I'm currently studying for my European Airline Transport Pilot Licence. But I'm keeping my hacking skills sharp for the future, as pilots usually spend lot's of time in hotels or layovers between flights it will open up some opportunities to do some extra work as a security consultant. 

Are you in a stable relationship? 
No, not yet... 

What kind of thrill do you get out of hacking? 
What can I say, it's just that feeling when you finally get something done. You put lot's of effort into some hacks and I feel a rush of excitement whenever I succeed in doing something. What is the incentive that keeps you doing it? Curiosity, but I guess that it's not so much "why do you keep doing it" but more like something you just do whenever you want to, just because you can. And you learn new things everyday. 

Is that really worth staying up all night for? 
I look at it like this, why go to bed if you are almost there !? When I'm exited about something I can't sleep anyway. So it's no big deal to skip a nights sleep for something fun. 

What are you going to be doing in ten years? 
Fly my ass off on the mayor airliners and do some IT security consulting on the side. Plus a lot of hobby stuff like
programming, AI projects, robotics and building my own V12 monstercar. All the stuff I really don't have time & money for at the moment. 

What is it about the computer that makes it become such an obsession? 
I don't look at it as an obsession, more like a hobby and a certain lifestyle. Computers are so integrated into my life that I can't imagine life without it anymore. 

How old are you? 
I'm 24. 

What kind of education do you have? 
Ordinary level, one year architecture, two years of IT, and US commercial pilots licence and currently in the last year of my european ATPL course. 

When was the first time you connected to the net? 
Uhhh, a long time ago, after spendin
