Wietse Venema is best known for the software TCP Wrapper, which is
still widely used today and is included with almost all unix systems.
Wietse is also the author of the Postfix mail system and the co-author
of the very cool suite of utilities called The Coroner's Toolkit or
"TCT". He is currently working at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center
and he has gratiously agreed to allow us to catch up with him and and
see what he's been up to lately.

Linuxsecurity.com: Thanks for taking the time to interview with us.
How you doing these days? The most we hear from you is when Postfix is
updated, the mailing lists, or something like that. What are you up
to?

Wietse: I have been finishing things, so that I can start work on new
projects. After a major documentation rewrite for the Postfix mail
system, I finished the manuscript for a book on computer forensic
analysis with Dan Farmer. When I finish something, I normally start
reading everything that I can lay my hands on and then inspiration
comes.
