John McCarthy was born on September 4, 1927 at Boston, Massachusetts. While at MIT, he made significant contributions to the field of computing, including creating the LISP programming system and organizing and directing the MIT Artificial Intelligence Project with Marvin Minsky. McCarthy also motivated Jack Dennis to develop a timesharing system for the PDP-1 and later Marvin Minsky and Fernando Corbato to pursue timesharing work under Project MAC.

Ben Gurley was born on December 23, 1926 at Pipestone, MN. He was the lead designer of the PDP-1 computer system. He designed nearly the entire system himself in three-and-a-half months, making liberal use of DEC's existing system building block product line. In addition to logic and computer design, he specialized in complex analog circuitry, including the circuits for core memories and displays. These displays (including high precision and color point plotting) were pivotal to DEC's success, and many of the display circuits that he designed remained unchanged until the 1970s.

Gordon Bell was born on August 19, 1934 at Kirksville, Missouri. He joined Digital Equipment Corporation in 1960 and spent 23 years (1960-1983) there as Vice President of Research and Development. When he started at DEC, he immediately began promoting the PDP-1 as an example of a 'VW Beetle' of computing -- a mass market, inexpensive, moderately-fast computer and then architected various mini- and time-sharing computers, including the PDP-6. In addition to his work at DEC, Bell’s accomplishments include the architecting of machines at Encore, Ardent and Stardent; teaching computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (1966-78); writing books on computer design and entrepreneurship; and founding the National Science Foundation’s computing directorate.

Harlan Anderson was born on October 15, 1929 at Freeport, Illinois. He is an engineer and entrepreneur whose achievements include being the General Chairman of the Eastern Joint Computer Conference; serving as the Director of Technology for Time, Inc.; and funding many small technology companies.

Alec Muffett is a security evangelist, architect and software engineer, focused on security technologies, systems design, architecture and performance. He is the author of several open-source security projects including the Crack unix password cracker and CrackLib password-integrity testing library.

Bruce is the Style Police-Meister and a comitter of FreeBSD. He is also the author of the Minix-386 patches who made use of the memory protection features of the 80386.

Richard Greenblatt is an American computer programmer who along with Bill Gosper are considered to have founded the hacker community, and holds a place of distinction in the Lisp and the MIT AI Lab communities. Greenblatt enrolled in MIT in the fall of 1962, and around his second term as an undergraduate student, he found his way to MIT's famous Tech Model Railroad Club.

Peter Samson is an American computer scientist known for creating pioneering computer software. He was born on 1941 at Fitchburg, Massachusetts. While a student at MIT, Peter Samson joined The Model Railroad Club (TMRC) and was introduced to the interactive wonders of the TX-0 and PDP-1 computers. He also wrote the first editions of the TMRC dictionary, predecessor to the Jargon File. Samson developed pioneering software for real-time digital music synthesis for both of these computers, and helped write Spacewar!, including "expensive planetarium,” the star display for Spacewar!

Samson joined Systems Concepts, Inc. in San Francisco in 1970 and became Director of Marketing and Director of Program Development. Here, he programmed the first Chinese-character digital communication system and designed the Systems Concepts Digital Synthesizer, then the world's largest and most capable music synthesizer, which served for more than a decade as principal synthesis engine for the computer music group at Stanford University (CCRMA).

He was in charge of manufacturing engineering for many hardware products, including the Central Memory subsystem for the ILLIAC IV supercomputer complex at the NASA/Ames Research Center. Later he worked for Autodesk, Inc. and contributed significant modules for rendering, animation, Web
browsing, and scripting languages.

Sam Edwards is the author of nimue.py which is a python script for rooting Sony Bravia TVs. If the exploit is successful which is a buffer overflow initialized by the script, it allows the user to connect to the TV on port 23 (Telnet Port) using a Telnet client to access a root shell. The script is available for download at github.

Matt Miller a.k.a skape is a lead software developer by day and an independent security researcher by night. He has worked on a number of open-source projects and has authored several papers on security related technologies. His current security related interests include post-exploitation technologies, payload development and optimization, and exploitation prevention technology.
