About
Some people ask me who I am, what I do and stuff like that. Some time ago I wrote a little perl script that should tell you a bit on those items. But, that wasn’t very good to maintain within these page’s (alignment and such).
Who am I? I am Remko Lodder, born and raised in the Netherlands. My mother gave birth to me on the 16th of october 1983 (which means that I am currently: 25) in the city Rotterdam. I was employed as a “Information Security Specialist” at the ING Bank NV till the end of august 2006. In Oct 2006 I joined the Snow.nl team and I am enjoying that team a lot! I have a nice challenge at the moment at a financial management company (or cash management, debt management whatever you prefer to call it) doing loads of Unix and Security Administration.

Besides work I am also “working” for the FreeBSD team. There I maintain the Dutch Documentation, the FreeBSD Handbook and I am a member of the FreeBSD Security Team. Recently I got involved in the FreeBSD Bugmeister group and got accepted as a Source committer for FreeBSD as well. I work with very intelligent people who are learning me more every day.
My knowledge is mainly in Security (Host, Firewall, IDS), Systems Administration and perl/shell scripting.
With that knowledge I am infrequently helping DSINet.org, a team of security persons within the Netherlands who try to offer Dutch/English security news. A nice job, most of my concepts are readable on my Evilcoder site before being published.
Things I like:
I like to do the nice things of live. I am living it like i want to live it. I enjoy being with my son and try to see him as much as possible. When I am not seeing Luca and where possible, I also enjoy spending time with my girlfriend Denise, who is also Luca’s mother. Denise and I both try to learn our son the best we can, so that he can enjoy that later on and enjoy his childhood (which is going very well at the moment :)). Besides that I also like playing guitar, programming, thinking about security issues, solving security issues, documenting security issues, learning, and a lot more.
Things i do not like:
There are a lot of things that I do not like. People should be honest wherever possible, one omitting vital data for someone else can interrupt his future. I am also very punctual, if I’d make an appointment with someone I expect them to keep that appointment, or cancel it with a valid reason (any reason will do most of the time).
Later on I will publish my resume so you can see what knowledge I actually have, or better yet, I think to have (please see that in a subsection of this menu item)
