He&#x27;s also made a fool out of himself in very unashamed and public ways, and spread a lot of FUD. Windows XP raw sockets and Windows meta file come to mind. He&#x27;s also said that Metasploit is a controversial piece of software that&#x27;s main use is to develop malware.<p>Steve Gibson is a talker, even if he doesn&#x27;t know what he&#x27;s talking about. He will say whatever he wants and issue corrections later when he&#x27;s been proven wrong. It&#x27;s not a cheap shot. It&#x27;s well documented, he&#x27;s been called out on it for years, but he&#x27;s still calling himself a security expert while simeltaneuously spewing bullshit, for 15 years now.<p>And &quot;not current&quot; in security means &quot;useless&quot;, or sometimes &quot;actively harmful&quot;. There is no way to call yourself a security expert if you&#x27;re out of date.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;attrition.org&#x2F;errata&#x2F;charlatan&#x2F;steve_gibson&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;attrition.org&#x2F;errata&#x2F;charlatan&#x2F;steve_gibson&#x2F;</a>
