possibly non-notable computer engineer. There are some one-off quotes from him in articles about cyber security issues, but I'm not finding significant coverage. Sources in article are pretty much all self-sourced or affiliated. SPA creator with only a couple of other edits since valereee (talk) 10:11, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Very well known in the software community as well as the unix community for his crack program. Quite a few Gbooks mentions again for security and Crack, but not really a lot to build an article. Certainly notable. scope_creep^Talk 11:55, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Crack (password software) as that's what he's known for. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:09, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
