89. once there was this thing called the Arpanet

it had these things called BBN IMPs.

I wrote some of the code for those.

This was back when the Arpanet had 13 nodes ( 13 things connected to it ). Now I have way more than 13 things just in my house. Washer and dryer, refrigerators, thermostats, TVs, computers, phones, and even my CGM that measures my blood sugar.

Many years later there was this thing called MAE-West. I installed the Internet's very first gigabit switch in it. It handled all of the west coast internet traffic. It was run by NASA Ames... and was located in the federal building in San Jose. I was one of the network / storage people at NASA. I also ran all of NASA security for a year, right after our security architect went to one of those "white hat/black hat" conferences and announced NASA was "secure". They were terminated and NASA volunteered me to take over. BTW, NASA ( at that time ) was responsible for White House internet services and White House cyber security ( under Clinton / Gore ).

Before all of those things, I was part of a "hacker group" ( before anyone even had invented the terminology - like 1974 ) at my university. Back then, if you got caught hacking into the "mainframe"... they didn't kick you out, they offered you a job!

I have a *lot* of experience with Unix and Windows based file systems and storage. Many patents... mostly in the area of high performance storage systems. I have some experience with data integrity and provenance ( how do you know if what you originally wrote is what is still present when you go to look later, and if not the same, how did it change, when, and by who).

It's kinda my thing.

That said, I have not looked specifically at voting systems. I don't trust computers. Computers and the software that runs on them is ( up to now ) created by people... people make mistakes. Even the hardware is not perfect, just better than humans that use it. There are ALWAYS security holes... ALWAYS. Every security system created by mankind has been breached at one time or another. The Germans and Japanese found out the hard way. I'm certain we here in the USA have been hacked as well. It is foolish to think that it is impossible. Proving it happened is another issue.
