About the Authors
Brad 'RenderMan' Haines is one of the more visible and vocal members of the
wardriving community, appearing in various media outlets and speaking at conferences
several times a year. Render is usually near by on any wardriving and wireless
security news, often causing it himself. His skills have been learned in the
trenches working for various IT companies as well as his involvement through
the years with the hacking community, sometimes to the attention of carious
Canadian and American intelligence agencies. A firm believer in the hacker ethos
and promoting responsible hacking and sharing of ideas, he wrote the 'Stumbler
ethic' for beginning wardrivers and greatly enjoys speaking at corporate conferences
to dissuade the negative image of hackers and wardrivers.
Frank Thornton runs his own technology consulting firm, Blackthorn Systems,
which specializes in wireless networks. His specialties include wireless network
architecture, design, and implementation, as well as network troubleshooting
and optimization. An interest in amateur radio helped him bridge the gap between
computers and wireless networks. Having learned at a young age which end of
the soldering iron was hot, he has even been known to repair hardware on occasion.
In addition to his computer and wireless interests, Frank was a law enforcement
officer for many years. As a detective and forensics expert he has investigated
approximately one hundred homicides and thousands of other crime scenes. Combining
both professional interests, he was a member of the workgroup that established
ANSI Standard "ANSI/NIST-CSL 1-1993 Data Format for the Interchange of
Fingerprint Information." He co-authored WarDriving: Drive, Detect, and
Defend: A Guide to Wireless Security (Syngress Publishing, ISBN: 1-93183-60-3),
as well as contributed to IT Ethics Handbook: Right and Wrong for IT Professionals
(Syngress, ISBN: 1-931836-14-0) and Game Console Hacking: Xbox, PlayStation,
Nintendo, Atari, & Gamepark 32 (ISBN: 1-931836-31-0). He resides in Vermont
with his wife.
