PROJECTS

TryHackMe Junior Penetration Tester Path

  • Currently, I have completed the Junior Penetration Tester Path and am currently in the top 5%.

Home Lab

  • Using Proxmox, I have setup a cybersecurity lab featuring a pfSense firewall that has 3 vlans. One vlan features Ubuntu Server with Docker and Portainer installed. Within Docker I have containers setup for DVWA, Metasploitable 2, and buggy Web App. On another vlan I have a Windows environment setup with Windows Server running as a Domain Controller, and a couple of windows clients. Finally, in a third vlan, I have security tools and my attack box. These tools include Wazuh, Nessus, Security Onion, Parrot OS, and Kali Linux.
  • Creating this website has been a fun learning experience for me. I started out initially by buying my domain through Cloudflare because I wanted a secure way to access my computer at home without exposing my home network to the internet. I setup tunnels back to my home and left it like that for a while. Then I decided I wanted to use my domain to have my own personal email. So I got a subscription with an email provider and added all the appropriate DNS records to get it running. Finally, I decided to setup this website.
