 Technology | The Guardian

HD Moore, creator of the ethical hacking tool Metasploit and chief research
officer of security consultancy Rapid7, told the Guardian he had been
warned by US law enforcement last year over a scanning project called
Critical.IO, which he started in 2012. The initiative sought to find
widespread vulnerabilities using automated computer programs to uncover the
weaknesses across the entire internet.
