Welcome to The Clamshell Initiative...

Orientation

The Clamshell Initiative is made up of a group of Ethical Computer Hackers from around the World and is run by the Initiatives Project Leader Stuart A. Martin. 

We are a team of IT Security Experts who probe Computer Systems connected to the Global Internet searching for Vulnerabilities and Weaknesses and working to address them.

At the Clamshell Initiative our main course and direction is in leading the way to a Safer Future Internet-working Environment.

We Advise Governments, Financial Institutions, Academic Institutions, Organisations and Companies around the World of New Technologies in order to better Secure Public and Private Computer Networks and Data facing the Global Internet, which could be susceptible to Malicious Attacks or Loss of Data by way of Digital Theft.

Ethical Hacking, or "Penetration Testing," is a niche business spun out of the World's increasing dependence on the Internet.

As our dependence on an on-line presence grows, the risk of an Attack from Malicious Hackers multiplies.

"Hacker Ethic" the passionate pursuit of knowledge. To share the basic interests of how things work, and how to break them as well as fix them [Hacking] keeps you on your toes.

Hacking is about basic knowledge, knowing more about the innards of a system than anyone around you and being fascinated by mastering how things work.

The original meaning of the word Hacker: someone who enjoys stretching the capabilities of a system and solving hard problems. http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/H/hacker.html
