Summary
Lisa Kachold (born May 20, 1956), one of proportionally few women in computing in 1980's, is an American systems administrator and computer security consultant.
Education
Last daughter of Albert Robert Bellerue[1], political commentary writer for the Freeman, Arizona Republic and Mesa Tribune; and Mary C. Bellerue Bleck [2] botanist, Kachold received a progressive private education from Scudder Oaks Country School [3], and Judson School[4] (accelerated advancement program), followed by CLEP credits, various certifications and extensive hands on trench security training before formal computer science college degrees were offered. Bob Bellerue [5], the sound genius programmer, is Kachold's cousin; Rikard (Dick) Bellerue, the actor Gunsmoke and Magnificent Seven was Kachold's uncle providing interesting human early family education. Kachold is great aunt and mentor to Michael Bellerue, a systems administrator. Sisters include Recovery Systems Laura Swain, Alcohol & Drug Treatment Counselor, and owner of [6] Recovery Systems, PC in Colorado Springs CO., Lindy Bellerue, forensic nurse in CT., and Sandy and Susie Bellerue in California.
BBS
After military service in West Germany, and seven years as a Trimet transit bus driver, Kachold started the Utopia BBS in the 1980s [1], coining the gender twist word usage for Temtor as a play on words rather than SYSOP as in (SYS) Tem + (OPera) tor.
Unix Administration
Kachold, as engineering technician, for STC Submarine Systems, during development of transatlantic TAT-8 fiber optic submarine cable[7] in 1988, provided Malcolm MartenStcNet and engineering development team with Berkeley Unix system administration. Kachold has worked with pSeries, iSeries, HP-UX, Solaris, IRIX and NeXT systems. She worked in cross platform implementation and security services for many employers over the subsequent years.
Current Administration
Kachold recently completed two contracts with IBM, most notable | IBM Algorithmics [[[Algorithmic_trading | Algo]] Risk on Cloud. Kachold worked with Dell Services on a Unix/Linux PCI Compliance Audit/Upgrade for Hilton Hotels in 2014 and is again working with IBM America in 2015 after a Security Systems Review for Early Warning Services, L.L.C in Hadoop/Cassandra.
Telecommunications
Kachold held the position of Stromberg Carlson Digital Central Office Switch Telecommunication Technician for Payline Systems, programming intelligent hotel/motel dialers and Blackbox while watching the phreakers cruising through the, then room size, central office switch running version 12.0 Siemens. Later at Wygant Scientific[8] as Telecommunication Engineer, Kachold worked on the Washington Kids child support and TriMet Call-A-Bus [9] voice mail programs while developing Dialogic driver tools, voice mail systems and providing technical training for Mitel, Nortel, Siemens, and SER pbx telecom product integration.
ISP administration
Kachold was one of the first women working as ISP systems administrator and engineer during the .com startup years in the Pacific Northwest [2].
Security administration
Building custom linux firewalls, webservers, and mail servers, Kachold later coordinated ethical hack encroachments soliciting various contract engineers and professionals for Tiger Teams including Randal L. Schwartz of Stonehenge Consulting [10]. One particular internally announced and scheduled Tiger Team for testing a large telecommunications provider touched a file on an internal Solaris 2.6 SecurID server named Lisa_was_here without inside knowledge, in under two hours, by exploiting the floppy eject buffer overflow to a root shell, after trivially obtaining a user via network spoofing and sniffing of clear text telnet packets (pre SSH); a demonstration to prove minimum requirements for ingress filtering, patch management, and adequate user password strength and aging. Standard industry security holes, within diverse computing groups, arise due to compartmentalization without complete OSI testing, which was not yet widespread in the .com startup era. Forensics contracting followed for Warner Pacific College, Multnomah Athletic Club and numerous other commercial, educational and FOSS sites. Eight months AXIS AVHS project systems engineering, Juniper Firewall Security Audit, and Web Security Analysis and rebuild, for Iveda Solutions began 2010. Other work for community Security Administration in 2010/2011 includes NOC Engineer at Hosting, Linux Engineer for University of Phoenix, and many private security audits and linux web systems gigs which include full non-disclosure due to security constraints.
Production perl
Kachold was one of the first female production Perl programmers[3] in the United States, for Ncd.com (web systems marketing of PCXware Xterm now a part of Citrix code) in 1997; Senior Voice/Data Network Analyst for Nike, Inc. and Senior Security Administrator for GST. Kachold held roles systems administrator, systems analyst or systems engineer for Lockheed.com, Metro One Telecommunications, Teleport.com, Verio, e-z.net, wolfe.net, World.net, Transport.com, SpireTech.com, UCINET.com, and many other startup .com ISPs as well as Usbank, KeyBank, [[Ziba Design] and the U.S. Army (Solaris). Starting the WebSphere[4] User Group in Portland, Oregon in 2004, Kachold served the J2EE developer and IBM administration community, engineering cross platform portal systems.
FOSS Code contribution
Kachold wrote a PCMCIA ethernet[11] C device driver for Sun Solaris[12] x86 on Compaq Presario 1250 submitting code under GPL.
Kachold also worked for Rhino Equipment Corporation[13], submitting bash script content into the release of TrixBox 2.0 with Kerry Garrison [14] and the Asterisk svn tree[15].
Obnosis .com
Obnosis.com was registered as a word hack in 1996 by Kachold after surviving the long UseNet news Alt.religion.scientology wars[16] and the CUD declaration of war on CoS Dianetics, as a NNTP sendmail administrator and security engineer for various largish fledgling Pacific Northwest ISPs selling dialup access. A complete wiki history (also deleted from Wiktionary/Wikipedia) appears on it-clowns.com.
The domain obnosis.com has long been controversial since the Church of Scientology, promoting word clearing for spiritual advancement, uses the term obnosis[17]. Publicized in 1965, L. Ron Hubbard used the neoglism obnosis in a paper describing the tone scale categorizing intelligence based on emotional states which is now a cornerstone of Scientology spiritual tech[18]. The obnosis domain name word usage argument questions who has essential ownership of a word (or the truth or technical training and education) [5]. In computer security pwnership is everything[19].
The advent of the Anonymous Group's Chanology declaration of war on Scientology[20] further illuminated this word "hack" play on "obnosis" and ownership.
Teaching and Training
From 2004 until 2006, Kachold volunteered with the non-profit community recycler Freegeek as a teacher.[6]
In 2007, Kachold provided various presentations for Desert Code Camp [21] while rebuilding production systems for DNS, MTA, Oracle, J2EE and portal PCI Compliance at Sky Mall. Kachold also engineered clustered J2EE web servers for Choice Hotels and provided 3ware Vldb Greenplum RAID tuning, custom Apache Ecommerce signature tokens, security administration and server engineering for iCrossing.com in 2008.
In 2008, Kachold began the Hackfests in conjunction with the Phoenix Linux User Group HackFest in conjunction with PHXLinux PLUG [7] . The | Hackfest series showcases OSI layer up (and cross-platform) computer security issues in a laboratory format. Special attention is humorously paid to Layer 8 issues for users and professionals working with Linux. Security labs and presentations are provided for FOSS users who submit content and develop presentation materials while training one another.
Kachold, a proponent of ethical systems administration [22] and Network neutrality, with Phoenix Linux User Group base[8] maintain security educational sessions as a community resource, or free, due to the need for greater consciousness (or obnosis) in Linux applications security. Various security guest presentations have been provided by Kachold at the University of Advancing Technology,[9] Mesa Community College and Estrella Mountain College also.
In 2010, at Desert Code Camp MetaSploit Code Validation was contributed by Kachold. Gangplank began hosting the PLUG Hackfest Labs in Chandler Arizona on the second and third Saturday of every month from Noon until 3PM.
In 2011, Metasploit and IP Camera Surveillance Presentations are provided for ABLEConf in April.
In 2012, PLUG Hackfests moved to DeVry University with David Demland (adjunct teacher as an Professional partner), on the 2nd Saturday of every month from 11AM until 2PM. DeVry University provides a complete lab and expanse of unpatched cisco equipment for pentesting and network discovery as well as a rack at OneNeck where Kachold built an ESXi server, KVM/Cloud Foundry puppet/chef and forensic toys for our CTF practice and target builders. Guest Presenters of note have included Microsoft employees, the entire security group from GoDaddy.com, Legal ethics presentations from EFF volunteers, and includes interns and professional mentors from University of Phoenix, US Army, and Palo Verde Nuclear facility.
In 2014, the Hackfests moved from PLUG to Maricopa Pinal GNU Linux User Group while still maintaining Open Source project sharing with DeVry University, however IT-CLOWNS Limited, INC. obtained 501(3)C Nonprofit status for the MPGLUG and Hackfest activities. A Meetup Group cements some of the changes for social media outreach at http://meetup.com/Linux-HackFest/. The discussion groups also moved from the very controversial Phoenix Linux User Group to http://mailman.it-clowns.com where extensive open discussion without censorship is free of ruthless competition over secondary commercial gain.
