FAQ
Who are you?
I am a late 20's geek from UK currently residing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia living the high life. I work in Computer Security, yes that's correct I am an 3l33t h4x0r...Or something like that. Mostly I do penetration testing (Yes ladies I am a professional penetrator), I also do security audits, stuff for BS7799 and training for Information Security related subjects. If you are interested in some consultancy or such like (globally is fine) let me know..
I love photography and Flickr!
Me and a friend co-founded the world famous and well respected web-site http://www.security-forums.com, commonly known as SFDC or Security Forums Dot Com, which I recently got 'fired' from for disagreeing with the new management. Ironic seen as though I created it and it was the vision of Chris and I that made it the success it is.
Many eons ago I also created http://www.darknet.org.uk, which I relaunched in February 2006, it's been doing well (It's been on Slashdot frontpage twice and Digg frontpage 6-7 times). You can check out the archives here.
Around that time I also wrote a white paper on how to secure Windows 2000, one of the first with detailed instructions....shortly after this a flood came with many more people expanding on it and O'Reilly even published a book on the subject. You can check it out here: Securing Windows 2000. I've also appeared on BBC Radio in the U. K. talking about computer security and viral outbreaks, been in the national Malaysian papers regarding computer security, spoken at various security conferences and co-authored some articles about the same subject for various resources. I've recently taken up writing for some Malaysian magazines too (mainly on security/networking).
I also recently founded Shutter Asia Photography Forums, a community for food, travel and photography in the Asia region.
Keeping Photography Alive!
Discussion subjects I enjoy are philosophy, psychology (stuff like transactional analysis), physics, quantum physics, sociology, religion and anything else interesting..if you can hold a decent conversation and enjoy logical debate...let me know. That's about it for me really.
How do I link to you?
Well you can do a normal HTML link such as:
<a href="http://www.shaolintiger.com" TARGET="_blank">ShaolinTiger - Kung-Fu Geekery</a>
Or use one of my 3 fantasic banners/buttons:
Where did you get the name ShaolinTiger from anyway?

Why subject us to your inane ramblings?
If you don't like it, don't read it..simple. I just needed somewhere to scribble down the cluttered mess of data inside my head, yes I mean data, not information as it's not yet been parsed into a useful format. Perhaps people will read, perhaps people will laugh, perhaps people will get mad...as long as I invoke some kind of emotion then I've done something meaningful. It's meant to be a satirically humourous, topical outlook on things, with some interesting tidbits, weird stuff, interesting findings and the odd rant about the terrible state of things.
Also I have moved away from the UK so I wanted somewhere the people back at home could check out now and then and see what I'm up to, check out my mad photos and so on.
So what do you do...APART FROM GEEK STUFF?
Well as you can probably guess from my nick...and this domain I really dig martial arts.
I've sampled at some points the following:
And various others which I don't really count..
I expect at some point in the future you shall hear my opinions and theories about modern martial arts, mostly of which are quite extreme...so be warned, especially if you love Karate or Tae kwon-do. If I get bored of I. T. my second career choice is to be a bodyguard, don't laugh I'm half qualified already!
I also really love SCUBA diving, you'll find lots of pictures in the Photo Gallery when I fix my fried computer and sort them out. I'm PADI (Pay And Dive Immediately) certified, not NAUI (Not Another Underwater Idiot) and I'm currently OW-Advanced..Perhaps going to go for DiveMaster in the future if time permits. If you live in KL and like diving in and around Malaysia, drop me a line perhaps we can hook up sometimes (this especially applies if you are female and sexy).
My car is kinda cool I think and in general I love things that go fast, and I love to go fast..that includes Motor-Bikes, Jet-skis and anything else a bit crazy. Outdoor kinda stuff is cool by me too, that includes hiking, jungle trekking, white water rafting, canoeing, abseiling and all that funk.
This is my car and I love it:
