Subject: n3td3v / Andrew Wallace's psychological profile

Earlier this year, a very well educated FD member posted the psychological profile of Mr. Wallace. (Found here: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2009/Jan/415 ) Interesting to view in retrospect, because I find it depicts him to a T.

This profile is almost like an instruction set for n3td3v's life. A self-fulfilling prophecy if you will.

An eery example: Anyone here remember how n3td3v posted as full-censorship a few months ago claiming to be a martyr? http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2009/Oct/45 . His profile states "Martyr glamorizations" aren't just n3td3v trolling you, he really considers himself as such. All the while you go out and bang your girlfriends and have fun with your friends, he's thinking the world revolves around him.

Another example is his frequent, obvious, though earnest attempts at using pseudonyms to defend himself. Often speaking of himself in third-person, as a hired lawyer, a hacker, zealous advocate, an underground "Full censorship" movement, etc.

It's possible as of late he may have done another attention-seeking false suicide. He hasn't updated his Google Page or Twitter in over 48 hours. I'm seriously worried. He may be wasting taxpayer money with fake suicide attempts. He's trolling society now.

I would like to post Andrew Wallace's psychological profile verbatim:

=======================================
  Psychological profile of n3td3v / Andrew Wallace
=======================================

Andrew is a special kind of crazy....a friend of mine and former colleague who I highly respect (practicing Psych., who profiles individuals for a real doggone intel agency...alas, not MI-Jive) labeled Andrew as a probable schizophrenic with grandiose idealizations.

These types of people usually can't hold a job.  The most active period of delusions occur from 17-33, some think the drop-off may be due to decreased levels of testosterone as they age.  Intelligence agency intrigue & innuendo is a classic manifestation, along with imaginary friends, martyr glamorizations, alternate personalities and repeated exclamations that they will curtail their behaviors, only to come back, roaringly, foisting themselves upon a group/friend circle with a different guise or mission. Some have said it resembles alcoholic behavior in the promises "to quit..."

They constantly need an audience, since 'friends' are temporal at best...they churn through relationships like shit flowing through a goose...as people become estranged/exasperated with the constant epiphany's, revelations and God-like interpretations.

Stranger yet is that people like this can be wonderfully charming in real-life....funny for awhile, but as they age, they start losing boyish charms that previously were  
forgiven...promulgating even more outlandish behavior as grow older. Sound familiar?  We have a baseline here, folks.  Also notice he hasn't written anything technical -- it's mostly outlandish hypothesis with pointers to..not infosec...but Andrew.

They usually refuse medications to control themselves, because it dulls the essence of what they're trying to portray: someone mysterious, withholding critical information, being the sole-source of knowledge that might somehow change the world.

IMHO, I would venture to say Andrew has attempted suicide -- his type is usually unsuccessful, indeed, it's not a suicide attempt but an attention-seeking event.

He's bat-shit-fucking-crazy-nuts, but sane enough to fool someone unfamiliar with his MO.  That's what is so aggravating about this particular form of mental illness...once again, as long as there's a receptive audience, the monkey will feel the compulsion to perform.  It's akin to sexual gratification for him to see he's the subject of people's ire...don't forget that.

This type of person will emotionally soul-suck everyone he comes in contact with, and make up dramas if only to suck more
people in, because really, it's all about the adulation of n3td3v/Andrew/????, nothing else.

Solutions:  There's a few, but I wouldn't want to be responsible for the end result; once again, n3td3v is a human たまごっち (Tamagotchi) and should be treated accordingly.
