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: 26) in the city Rotterdam. I was employed as a “Information Security Specialist” at the ING Bank NV till the end of august 2006.
Currently I live in Barendrecht:

You can contact me through email on remko@elvandar.org
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 Large telecom provider in the Netherlands, doing several migrations. Within Snow I also try to help my collegue’s by testing out new environments, like our Proof of Concept OSPF network with a redundant SILC server network on top of it.
Within my professional career, I managed to become an experienced Unix Administrator (FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, earning my LPI 101,102 and BSDA so far), an experienced network administrator (Cisco mostly) and an experienced Nokia/Checkpoint Administrator (earned both my CCSA and CCSE), experienced Juniper Firewall Administrator (JNCIA) as well as good knowledge about security in general, currently persuing some juniper certifications (JNCIE) and my CISSP

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 life. 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). Ofcourse I also have a problem with that every now and then, so flexibility is a keyword there
I also published my resume to show what knowledge I actually have and things like that. If you are interested, please checkout the resume here
