Gibson has garnered criticism for certain writings on computer security which allegedly do no more than spread [[FUD|fear]]. He has also been accused of shameless self-promotion, and has oft been likened to a [[snake oil]] merchant. These accusations notwithstanding, he has developed and distributed (for free) a number of useful security tools, including the popular [https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 ShieldsUp!] port-scanning site. His writings also provide something of a glimpse into the world of ''[[hacker|hackers]]'' and ''[[Hacker#Hacker:_Intruder_and_criminal|crackers]]'', of which he counts himself one of the former.
As of mid-2005, Gibson has appeared regularly on [[Leo Laporte|Leo Laporte's]] technology [[podcast]], [[This Week in TECH]], and as of [[August 18]], 2005, he has begun to appear in a security-focused podcast run by himself and Laporte called [[Security Now]].
