Hi! I’ve been working in network security professionally since 2017. I started with computer hardware, building computers on commission to pay for school, then wandered my way into networks because they looked like fun to learn about. Eventually I got a job as a tutor, then a low-level analyst.
Soon, I started managing people and projects, working with some incredibly smart security professionals and learning from them what I could. I hopped into senior analyst work as soon as I got the chance and picked up steam doing a little of everything for a startup.
Today I write, admin, secure, and teach. My security skillset and experience as of 2023 includes:
- Programming and management languages: Java, SQL (Spark, mySQL,osquery)
- Scripting: Python, Ruby, Bash, PowerShell, DuckyScript
- SIEMs (management, ingestion, and log analysis): SecurityOnion, Splunk, LogRhythm, ELK, ArcSight, ManageEngine, Sumo Logic, FortiSIEM, Graylog, AlienVault
- Operating Systems (admin capacity): Gentoo, Pentoo, Ubuntu, Kali, Mint, Windows 7/8.1/10/11, Windows Server 2016/19/22, z/OS
- Forensics: FTK Imager, Autopsy, Cuckoo, YARA, Ghidra
- Network Traffic Analysis: Wireshark, Ettercap, tcpdump
- Security Testing Applications: Burp, Atomic Red Team, ZAP, Metasploit, aircrack-ng suite, gobuster, dirbuster, nmap, dnsenum, Maltego, sqlmap, Wfuzz, Bloodhound
- Security Testing Tools: HackRF One, Wifi Pineapple (Mk 3 – 7), DVB-T tuners for SDR, Flipper Zero, OMG Plug Elite, UberTooth One, Proxmark, Proxgrind ChameleonTiny
- Other relevant stuff: Technical writing, webinars, teaching, conference speaking, project management
Outside of security things I like to knit, crochet, spin yarn, read, write, and enjoy time outside with my animals.
