Summary

Computer science has always been a part of my life. I was gifted my first PC, an IBM PS/1 over 30 years ago.. I have been hooked ever since. My experience ranges from a repair technician to a red team penetration tester and everything in between. I am fluent with MS Office applications. I have knowledge of Immunity Debugger, Radare II and Ghidra. Buffer overflows are one of my favorite things to find. I have understanding of Linux with Kali being my favorite distribution. I have an understanding of Java, Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, VB, C#, C++, Bash, PowerShell, etc. I am ranked as a Pro Hacker on Hack the Box and have risen to top ranks on TryHackMe. I have worked as a server administrator for a niche organization. I have found security vulnerabilities for 2 different big box companies. I have written software to automatically remove viruses from a PC via USB plug and run back when U2 drives were a thing. I wrote a Python script that can be plugged into any computer that is on the same network as smart LEDs allowing full light control from command line. I sent the information to the manufacturer and it is now patched. I have written a guide detailing how to perform stack buffer overflows that can be found on medium website. I have written walk throughs detailing how to exploit specific networks and machines also found on medium. You can find me on medium by searching troy10101. Funny piece of information, if you Google my real name no results can be found but if you Google my handle, troy10101, all results are me (except the TikTok one). I have about 2000 followers on twitter (@troyboy403) which I use as my "hacker" community.

Results-driven with 9 years experience focused on garden performance. Cannabis has been a part of life ever since I remember. Have made it a point to educate myself everything cannabis until research results became repetitive; striving to be part of something bigger than a basement grow. Look forward to learning new methods and implementing procedures in a cannabis cultivation facility.
