Viruses Revealed

David Harley has a work history more chequered than most chessboards, embracing music, nursing, various aspects of the building trade, computing, and administration. He worked from1989 to 2001 at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, originally as an administrator and programmer, then as a network engineer and support analyst, latterly as a security specialist. He now works for the United Kingdom's NHS Information Authority as Support Services Manager, where he still specializes in security, but is now allowed to express himself more pompously.

Rob Slade is a data communications and security specialist from North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
His research into computer viral programs began when they first appeared as a major problem “in the wild”. Acting initially as the unofficial archivist for the budding research community, he has since become known for “Mr. Slade's lists”. One of the working group for the VIRUS-L FAQ, he has produced a series of review and tutorial articles that have been published as Robert Slade's Guide to Computer Viruses. He is the founder of the DECUS Canada Security SIG. He still considers data security to be a minor sideline, and was astounded to hear himself referred to recently as a “leader” in the security community.
