Personal life


Lyon has been active in the network security community since the mid-1990s. His handle, Fyodor, was taken from Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Most of his programming is done in the C, C++, and Perl programming languages. He lives in Palo Alto, California.



Opposition to grayware


In December 2011 Lyon published his strong dislike of the way Download.com started bundling grayware with their installation managers and concerns over the bundled software, causing many people to spread the post on social networks, and a few dozen media reports. The main problem is the confusion between Download.com-offered content[2][3] and software offered by original authors; the accusations included deception as well as copyright and trademark violation.[3]


Lyon has lost control of the Nmap Sourceforge page, with Sourceforge taking over the project's page and offering adware wrapped download bundles.[4][5]



Web sites


Lyon maintains several network security web sites:



  • Nmap.Org – Host of the Nmap security scanner and its documentation

  • SecTools.Org – The top 100 network security tools (ranked by thousands of Nmap users)

  • SecLists.Org – Archive of the most common security mailing lists

  • Insecure.Org – His main site, offering security news/updates, exploit world archive, and other misc. security resources



Published books


Lyon has written and co-authored several books:
