I met FX many years ago during a Black Hat event. At the time, I was working on a class of vulnerabilities related to zip archives. Not only did he know exactly what I was on to, but he was able to articulate the actual issue and explain what was happening behind the scenes and why my exploit was working.
What sad news.

A true legend.
He was a good hacker but also a HUGE, arrogant jerk who treated a lot of people quite badly.
It's been a long time, but I've always cherished our late night conversations at the Alexis Park. Truly a great hacker. RIP my friend
His excitement and deep interest in things from cisco to web security to life was inspiring.
While he was a dividing personality with strong opinions, he had his heart in the right place
RIP
Loved his CISCO talks. RIP.
One of my favorite DEF CON talks https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2017/DEF%20CON%2017%20vid...
World got a little darker today. Rip my friend.
Reminds me of the Pirates of the Caribbean quote: "The world used to be a bigger place." "The world's still the same. There's just... less in it."
A true hero and legend. RIP.
