The Team
The HACKINT convention as well as HACKINT training would not be possible without team members, instructors, and support from members of the community. Below are the current HACKINT team members as well as a section for special thanks to individuals that helped us.
Current classes taught – Fundamentals to Hacking where we are today. If you are interested in joining the team to teach a class or help out in other ways be sure to email us at admin (at) HACKINTcon.org
Current Team Members:
Robert M. Lee – Founder and Lead Instructor
Robert is the founder of hackINT and one of the instructors for the hackINT classes. As an Air Force Cyber Operations Officer he is passionate about the cyberspace domain and furthering the domain through education. hackINT was an idea of his following his attendance of numerous hacking and cyber security conventions and training classes. Being located at Ramstein Air Base at the time it was difficult for him to attend the conventions and expensive to receive training. Understanding that there was a lot of talented and passionate individuals in the Kaiserslautern Military Community around the base he decided to host an event to bring those individuals together.

Current classes taught – Hacker’s Methodology, Introduction to Digital Forensics, Packet Analysis, Intrusion Detection Systems, and Fundamentals of Defense
Eric Trombly – Instructor
Eric is the technical director and one of the instructors for hackINT. As an Air Force Information Assurance Officer he saw that computer security is usually treated as a second class citizen. By teaching people how to exploit other systems he hopes to show them the importance of securing their own. He is also a strong proponent of open source, and this translates well to the teaching environment.

Special Thanks:
AFCEA Chapter 158 – The Kaiserslautern Military Community’s local Armed Forces Communications Electronics Association (AFCEA) is Chapter 158. Located on Ramstein Air Base, Germany the chapter team members focus on educating and empowering communications professionals throughout the community. Chapter 158 gives back to the community in the forms of scholarships, donations, and by hosting technology focused events and luncheons. Chapter 158 has been paramount in the development of hackINT by sponsoring the event and allowing the hackINT competition to be held at the chapter’s Summer Technology Expo.
86th Communications Squadron – The communications squadron on Ramstein Air Base has graciously allowed the hackINT classes to take place in their on base classrooms. The ability to use their classrooms as an area to host the class was the first step in making hackINT possible. The members of the squadron who helped in procuring those classrooms and providing support have done hackINT a great service.
The Support – In setting up hackINT, Robert reached out to various community members across the Air Force to answer numerous questions, provide technical assistance, and in general support. Three individuals that standout as pivotal to the creation of hackINT are Jeremy Sparks, Jonathan Ketchum, and Paul Brandau. Without these three individuals hackINT would have only be a pipe dream. Their continued support is greatly appreciated and demonstrates the ability for cyberspace professionals to come together across distances to achieve a common good.
Air Force Research Laboratory – The AFRL creates and sponsors hacking challenges that served as a great inspiration for hackINT. These events and dedication to education serve as an influence and good role model to the development of the cyberspace domain.
