I've been working in the web industry for over 11 years now. I was a big fan of Perl when I originally started web design. Over the years I moved to many different languages Javascript, ASP and PHP, I instantly became a big fan of PHP for the speed of development and all the functions and language features.
Because I come from a Perl background I read loads of security related books and every Perl book contained a security hint or two. This is when I became interested in web security. Programming didn't take me long to pick up and I used to finish my work very quickly so I was often trying to hack my own scripts which I found fun. I first noticed security flaws in about 1996-1997 when Altavista (The main search engine at the time) contained HTML injection vulnerabilities in it's search.
From then on I've been pretty obsessed with web security, my code always has some form of security filter and I'm often trying to hack my own web sites. I spend a lot of my time on many security blogs and I'm always visiting the sla.ckers forums. In my free time I contribute a lot to a web coding/security blog and you will often find me posting the latest security or coding tips.
