Johnny Long, otherwise known as j0hnny, or sometimes as j0hnnyhax is a renowned computer security expert, author, and public speaker in the United States.
Johnny is well known for his background in Google Hacking, a process by which vulnerable servers on the Internet can be identified through specially constructed Google searches. He has also rose to fame due to his proliferation as an author and editor of numerous computer security books. In recent years, Johnny has become a regular speaker at many annual security conferences including DEF CON, the Black Hat Briefings, and ShmooCon.
In his latest endeavor, Johnny has created the Hackers for Charity non-profit organization. Known by its byline, "I Hack Charities", the organization collects computer and office equipment to donate to underdeveloped countries. The movement was realized after a viewing of Invisible Children, a documentary movie that showcases many brutalities committed in northern Uganda that have remained invisible to the global media. Along with coordinating the donation of goods and supplies, Johnny traveled to areas of Africa to personally setup computer networks and help build village infrastructures.
Unlike many in the field, Mr. Long is known to publicly pronounce his faith in Christianity. He begins and ends each of his presentations with information regarding humanitarian efforts for Invisible Children Inc.
