Pentesting

I am a transdisciplinary designer with a double degree in architecture and innovation. I have facilitated workshops and led classes in areas such as complexity, design thinking and systems thinking to both professionals and students. I am currently looking to put those skills into practice and to work on complex transformational problems.

I have 6+ years of experience using the Adobe Creative Suite and 8+ years using Rhino 3D and I teach the software to university students. I have experience with HTML and CSS as well designing this portfolio website from scratch.

I am currently learning Ethical Hacking, gaining a foundational and practical understanding of Penetration Testing. Areas I have addressed or am currently learning about include:

  • Networking (OSI Model, Protocols)
  • Linux (Kali)
  • Basic Scripting (Bash, Python)
  • Information Gathering
  • Scanning & Enumeration (Nmap, Nessus, Nikto)
  • Exploitation (Metasploit, Burp Suite)
  • Buffer Overflow Exploit Development
  • Active Directory Attacks (LLMNR Poisoning, Relay Attacks, mitm6)
  • Active Directory Post-Compromise Enumeration (PowerView, Bloodhound)
  • Active Directory Post-Compromise Attacks (Pass the Hash, Token Impersonation, Kerberoasting, Golden Ticket)
  • Web Application Enumeration & Vulnerabilities (Assetfinder, Httprobe, OWASP Top 10)
  • Wireless Pen Testing
  • Report Writing
  • Privilege Escalation (Linux)
