Harri Harras Hursti, a Finnish computer programmer, was born on July 10, 1968, in Helsinki, Finland. As a co-founder of ROMmon, he played a crucial role in the development of the world's smallest 2 gigabit traffic analysis product, which was later acquired by F-Secure Corporation.
Hursti is renowned for his involvement in the Black Box Voting hack studies, alongside Dr. Herbert "Hugh" Thompson. The memory card hack, commonly referred to as "the Hursti Hack," was part of a series of four voting machine hacking tests conducted by Black Box Voting, a nonprofit election watchdog group, in collaboration with the producers of the HBO documentary, Hacking Democracy. These studies exposed serious security vulnerabilities in the voting systems of Diebold Election Systems.
In 2009, Hursti relocated to the United States, where he continued to make significant contributions to the field of computer programming and election security.
