IllWill
IllWill is a security consultant and claims to be a cyber felon (greyhat) back then. In the early 2000s, Genovese was a former figure in a loose-knit group of computer hackers who called themselves illmob.
In 2003, Genovese's website was the first to release 0day code that exploited the MS03-026 which was later used by unknown hackers to create variants of the W32/Blaster Worm. In response, Genovese released a tool he coded to remove the worm from infected Windows PC's.
He was also a co-founder and speaker at security conferences eXcon and BSides Connecticut (BSidesCT) in 2011, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018. In 2015 he was a panelist at DEF CON 23 in Las Vegas for a charity fundraiser to help a fellow hacker who was stricken with terminal cancer.
In October 2023, he delivered a talk at BSides CT 2023. This presentation delved into the story behind mobman, revealing several unknown facts about the mysterious developer. The talk concluded with IllWill releasing the official and genuine source code of SubSeven 2.1.2/3 in his Gitlab. This release was made possible by mobman's direct contribution and with his blessing.
