Offensive Security/Pentesting
I have recently obtained my OffSec Certified Professional certification, an industry standard in penetration testing, proving my competency in real-world offensive security engagements.
I've always had an interest in penetration testing and offensive security (refer to $history). I'm constantly researching new attacks, vulnerabilities and techniques. I also frequently play TryHackMe and HackTheBox labs to keep my skills sharp and learn new things.
I frequently play and compete in CTFs, placing second individual at BSIDES Cache 2024 and second in teams (as a solo player) at BSIDES Red Rocks 2024.
Pracitcal Examples
During the OSCP exam I was tasked with penetrating six total machines, three standalones and three in an Active Directory network. While I'm limited on what details I can share due to exam restrictions, I was able to gain access to five of the six devices within 24 hours.
I employed a variety of tactics and techniques to gain initial access to, escalate privileges on and pivot between computers. From webservers to domain controllers.
Projects
PoCs - I really enjoy writing my own exploits. Getting to the bottom of what caused the vulnerability is the best feeling.
