It's been like six months, so I will post another casual reminder that I am looking for a new job.
At this point, I've been doing IT for over 14 years, and the last nine have been in offensive security. I would say the first half of my offsec career was primarily network pen testing, and the last half has been mostly application security. I feel I have a pretty strong mix of both, though my net pen skills have gotten rustier the last few years, if I am being totally honest. I did a wireless assessment recently as well, so that's another area I could help your org.
Over the last few months, I've transitions to doing more red team work, and not just the physical pen testing side of it, though I have experience doing that as well. There's also been a purple team component, and I've written before on the importance of not doing offsec in a vacuum.
Oh, and I've also done threat modeling. That's something else I could help your organization consider - where are all your threats? It's good to know where all your blinky lights are, but have you thought about all your potential threats, or tried to?
When I was a consultant, I messed with other stuff like Kubernetes clusters, legacy kit like the AS/400, secure code review, and mobile application testing.
I would be open to people leadership as well. I've professionally and personally mentored a few individuals, and it's an area where I feel I have strength and could grow quickly.
One thing I don't like is generative AI, I think it's a grift and I don't want to work at a company that is pushing for people to use it. Honestly it's a big part of the reason I've been looking for a new job for the last year. If I had an angel investor, I'd start a generative AI-free consultancy.
I should close with two tidbits. I live in California, and I prefer to work remotely. That being said (written), I am open to relocation, including out of the United States of America, to any country that would support migration. I prefer remote, as I've been doing that off and on for the better part of a decade, but for the right price I am open to sitting in an office a few days a week. For a lot more money, I'd sit in an office five days a week.
Boosts are appreciated!
