Relevant Academic Projects

 

Network Forensics: 

  • Was given multiple PCAP files from a breached network was tasked with investigating the scope of the damage and how the attacker was able to breach the network.
  • Tools used: Wireshark, Netminer, Security Onion, VirusTotal, Abuseipdb, and NetWitness Investigator.
  • Using Wireshark to replay network traffic contained within the PCAP files and the in addition tools my team and I were able to deduce that there was an attack conducted on the network the attackers were able to infiltrate the network using Virtual Network Computing (VNC Protocol). Once connected they attempted a brute force attack.

Capstone: 

  • The task we were assigned was to wirelessly attack a vehicle infotainment system using a pentesting platform and infotainment system provided by our client.
  • Due to limitations to both the infotainment system and the pentesting tool our group built our own access point and connected the infotainment system to our network to see what information would could obtain using both the given infotainment system and our own.
  • We were successful in creating our own access point and getting information from both the given infotainment system that was unsupported by the OEM and supported infotainment system from a team members vehicle.
  • The data received was the version and build number as well as communication from the vehicle and GM's Onestar API servers
  • Once successful in creating and preforming an attack using our own access point we attempted to replicate this using the given pentest platform and infotainment system.
  • Due to limitations to both systems and time constraints we unsuccessful with replicating it on the pentesting platform
