Julian Paul Assange is a well known name in investigative
and ethical hacking. Born on 3rd July 1971 in Townsville Queensland
Australia.His name Assange came to him from his step father his biological
father's name was John Shipton.and he could meet him only when he was 25.
His childhood was so much disrupted that he
attended 37 schools. He was shifted 30 times, before he turned 14 years which
is not a normal in any case. Officially enrolled in only 12 schools.as his
parents ran a touring theatre company. In Australian university there are only
four passing grade system like "pass" "credit"
"merit" "distinction" and "high distinction".In
most of his Maths courses he received pass grade (50-65) percent.
He started a BSc (Bachelor of Science) degree studying Physics,
pure Mathematics and briefly Philosophy Neuroscience. But he didn't graduate,
instead he took up research because his other mates joined in U.S. Dept. Of
Defence projects called DARPA which ( Defence Advanced Research Project Agency
) develops new technology for Millitary
.
At 16 he began hacking under the name of
"Mendex".He wrote couple of books for newbies on hacking which
climbed up high on the best sellers list.he authored books "
Underground", "Tales of hacking and obsession", and
"Madness" in electronic frontier. When he made electronic
edition freely available in 2001 on site
Slashdot, the server housing the book crashed due to the overwhelming demand.
It reached 400,000 downloads with in 2 years.
Whatever circumstancial
adversaries he negotiated in this journey can any commoner think of coming out
of such whirlpool and achieve incredible aptitude ?.Can anyone in his full
sense venture to do research being a dropout ?.how many of us attain such
maturity to dream of such invisible tasks ?.how many of us pursue further
in studies.when shifted of and on from
one school to other like nomads.it is he and he only Julian Paul Assange could.
Can we dare to emulate or imitate his struggle and achieve any feat in our
life.
