Work History
Network Forensics Investigation & Attack Simulatio
UMGC
Adelphi, MD
06.2026 - 08.2026
- Conducted comprehensive network forensics investigation in a virtualized lab, analyzing interactions between Kali Linux and Windows Server systems to uncover potential security vulnerabilities.
- Captured and reviewed network traffic with Wireshark, identifying ICMP communications, TCP activity, exploitation traffic, and Metasploit payload indicators.
- Used Metasploit Framework to demonstrate exploitation of MS17-010 SMB vulnerability, establishMeterpreter session, and complete controlled post-exploitation tasks.
- Performed network reconnaissance with Nmap to identify open ports, services, and the target attack surface.
- Correlated network, memory, and disk artifacts to reconstruct attack activity and document findings using forensic investigation and evidence-preservation principles.
- Applied FTK Imager and Autopsy to acquire, verify, and examine forensic disk evidence while maintaining evidence integrity through MD5 and SHA-1 hash validation.
- Use Volatility for memory forensics to review network connections, listening ports, processes, and other volatile artifacts from a Windows memory image.
- Produced and presented a technical demonstration detailing the investigation process from initial connectivity testing and reconnaissance to compromise and forensic evidence analysis, enhancing team understanding of attack methodologies.
