Designer and Deployment Engineer (contractor) July 2023–August 2023

• Coordinated and managed a team of four collaborators in a short-term-based school project, by creating a uniquely designed GitHub-created website with easily penetrable vulnerabilities in a fun game-like competition, called Capture-the-Flag (CTF).

• Proven success in the creation of simple HTML and JavaScript-based websites that were easily exploited and abused. Challenges completed in a linear progression from easy to advance level.

• Project participants engaged in puzzles, cryptography, reverse engineering techniques, deployment of Python language-coded systems, web application exploits, use of research in MITRE framework and current global threat actors, use of network forensic tools, such as Google and Bing Images, Tin Eye Reverse Imaging systems and Foto Forensics, and data extraction systems, like Burp Suite.

• All tools used to extract, interpret, and manipulate data to determine username and password credentials, names, coordinates, and physical address locations, and different hints to enable privilege escalation and thereby access to internal sites and “imagined” financial data.

• Conclusions showed that to have robust and secure websites, one must have necessary in-depth defense layer security systems in place.
