Interall - Hank Nussbacher Internet Consultant
Background
I work as an Internet consultant with specializations in project management, Cisco IOS,
BGP, routing design, anti-spam, anti-DDOS, threat analysis, pen-testing, Internet security,
and Internet performance.
I have consulted at:
and others.
You can view my online resume, recommendations and people I know in the field via my
LinkedIn profile.
Previous to moving to Israel I mainly
worked at City University of New York (CUNY/UCC) where I helped design and implement
Bitnet
during 1980-1982, which has been dismantled after having served its
purpose.
From Oct 1996 till August 1997 I represented the
IAB
on the
International Ad Hoc Committee (IAHC)
to determine the future structure
of the generic Top Level Domain system. This committee later became the
iPOC (Interim Policy Oversight Committee)
and then became
ICANN - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
My work interests
Below are a list of some of my work interests:
Here are some of my publications:

used by all SMSs.
