I go by the handle/alias iCE Breaker and the definition below should explain where I came up with the name.
ice /n./ [coined by Usenetter Tom Maddox, popularized by William Gibson's cyberpunk SF novels: a contrived acronym for ['Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics'] Security software (in Gibson’s novels, software that responds to intrusion by attempting to immobilize or even literally kill the intruder). Hence, icebreaker’: a program designed for cracking security on a system.
I’m the author of ShockWavE:PRO BBS software (circa 1989) which was written in Borland Turbo Pascal v5.5, v6 and v7. Somewhere about 1994, I ported it to Linux using FPK AKA Free Pascal. The project has since been abandoned.
These days I’m primarily a web application developer using PHP (LAMP). I’ve also written some desktop applications in C#. I’ve been dabbling with VoIP and Asterisk Open-source PBX software since 2003 creating dynamically generated phone surveys and a number of prototype projects. I’ve created an Asterisk call manager using C# which I hope to release to the public soon.
