Re: Evan Brewer
It seems that Evan Brewer fails the notability requirements for Wikipedia. User:NMChico24 recommended speedy deletion, and I agreed. In order for articles to exist here, they must assert their significance, or reason for deserving an article. The article you were writing did not, and from a cursory look online, it doesn't seem that that individual is notable for inclusion. Hope that clarifies. Cheers. --MZMcBride 05:06, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the slow response time. If you feel the article merits inclusion in Wikipedia, Deletion review can be of assistance. As for the old contents of the page, I've placed the most current version below. However, do not recreate the article without going through the deletion review process. Cheers. --MZMcBride 20:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Evan Brewer a.k.a. "dmess0r", (born May 24, 1976) is an American, information security specialist, software engineer and HAM Radio operator.

The Early Years
Mostly known for his work in the information security space, Evan has contributed to countless opensource projects as well as provided a safe-haven for several information and computer security projects. Evan arrived in the information security community in 1998 as the operator of domain el8.org. Under new ownership, el8.org and Evan rocketed to something of hacker stardom in the information security community. Appearing in such online magazines as Phrack, Evan's el8.org began to provide an article-supplying cornerstone.

Having contributed countless Nmap signatures, Evan was (and currently is) a staunch supporter of the wildly popular network auditing tool Nmap.

Shortly after beginning his work with el8.org, Evan connected with the security group w00w00, and members at the time Shawn Fanning and Jordan Ritter. Evan provided testing and assistance with Shawn's music sharing project, which shortly later became the first incarnation of Napster. While spearheading several security related projects inside Napster, Evan made the choice to return to college in 1999. In 2001 he earned his Bachelors of Science at Humboldt State University in Computer Information Systems where in his graduating year he also was the President of the Computer Science Club.

Career
After taking a bit of a hiatus after Napster, 2004 was the year when Evan's career once again began to take noticeable shape. Hooking up with the (then) CTO of Cloudmark Inc., Jordan Ritter snatched up Evan as quickly as possible to fill a role entitled "Systems Programmer". It was with this anti-spam juggernaut where Evan spent two years helping develop custom server deployment software, as well as apply his sheer encyclopedic knowledge of Linux to help rid the world of spam in leaps and bounds. To this day, Cloudmark's product "Cloudmark Desktop" remains the single best anti-spam solution for the consumer desktop as well as in the ISP and server market.
