Work History

Cyber Crime Research

  • Conducted comprehensive research project on cybersecurity, delving into contemporary crime trends, risk assessment methodologies, and mitigation strategies
  • Demonstrated analytical prowess in evaluating complex data sets and synthesizing findings into actionable insights
  • Utilized a multidisciplinary approach to investigate cyber threats, contributing to a deeper understanding of cybercrime dynamics and fostering proactive solutions.

Securing the pfSense Firewall

  • Removed insecure and unneeded protocols while implementing security configuration parameters on network devices and other technologies using secure network administration principles.

Implementing NAT and Allowing Remote Access

  • Set up and connected to a remote machine on an external network so it can connect through Remote Access/Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access resources on the internal network.

Implementing Common Protocols and Services

  • Used TELNET, Secure Shell (SSH), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Secure Copy (SCP) to perform functions between two systems on a network
  • Examine traffic with Wireshark, through an open source Protocol Analyzer.

Implementing Security Policies on Windows and Linux

  • Analyzed a network capture file containing wireless traffic
  • Examine protocols, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, and Media Access Control (MAC) addresses, as well as analyze other information from traffic
  • Used a protocol analyzer called Wireshark using a network capture in pcap format
  • FIltered packet captures to review the wireless network beacons and application layer traffic: File Transfer Protocol (FTP), telnet, and Post Office Protocol (POP3).

Incident Response Procedures, Forensics, and Forensic Analysis

  • Acted as an attacker, exploited a remote system
  • After attacking the victim machine, analyzed web logs and performed an incident response on a compromised host.
