Line 5: Gibson is a graduate from [[UC Berkeley]] in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) with a 4.0 gpa. Gibson is an advocate of [[assembly language]] programming, and prides himself with writing whole applications exclusively in assembly language, including the [[SpinRite]] hard disk utility~~, though the merit of this tool is doubted and often debunked by experts~~. He is one of several advocates of optimizing computer programs and reducing the size of their executables. 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, and [http://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm LeakTest]. 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.
