Throwaway here. A couple years back, we thought about hiring this guy for a security assessment, so we looked into him.
He didn't check out. He appears to be lying about his military background in Israel and has little in terms of information security skills. No certifications. Nobody in the field knows him. He refuses to provide any proof of his claims. His blog posts are vague ramblings without real substance.
He's what's known as a "charlatan" in attrition.org lingo. I'm not sure why he hasn't been called out by Attrition yet, but he's probably flying below their radar.
You can easily find his real name and do some Google and Archive.org searching and see that none of his story or timelines check out. He did work in an entry-level security position for a Waltham, MA company for a short time.
The best I can tell is that he's an EDC gear junkie with dreams of being a spy.
PS: He is not affiliated with the fine people at GORUCK.
