Jeremy Reeder, security aficionado

I’ve written a book and several articles on security and penetration thereof. I’ve also produced some open-source software. These are a few of my published works.

• CS2 — an implementation in C of Arnold Reinhold’s CipherSaber™ series of encryption algorithms. 2009.

• GeoCracker™ — a calculator for vector addition and coordinate conversion, useful for calculating drill-points on safe and vault locks. 2007.
