Presentations

I was asked to give a 5 minute presentation on the basics of network hacking for the Intro to Cybersecurity class. The goal was to demonstrate the importance of thinking like an attacker in order to defend yourself.

I taught the Intro to Cybersecurity class about some basic password cracking using Hashcat. Using basic knowledge of password hashes and common attack types, the students cracked both my MD5 and SHA1 hashlists by utilizing dictionary and brute force attacks.

I had the amazing opportunity to drive down and give my first conference talk at BSides Redrocks in St. George, UT. Coming in from mechanical engineering, I show my problem solving process that I use in class and use it to build a framework that can apply to solving various cybersecurity problems.
