Jody Melbourne
In the 90’s Jody spent his teenage years huddled in front of
computers, trying to find ways to access things that other people
really didn’t want him to access. A few years later at age 17 he was
visited by the friendly federal police, which caused him to reconsider
his illegal hobbies. A year later he was hired as a professional
hacker by an IT security firm.
Jody has been employed as a professional ethical hacker for 12 years,
specialising in web vulnerabilities and corporate espionage
techniques. He is currently based in Melbourne as an Information
Security Specialist with CQR Consulting.

My mother became a dab hand at getting inkstains out of my clothes. Flicking ink at one another in the classroom was an essential… [read more]From: I’d rather have a piece of toast than listen to crap lyrics
