About Me

My name is David and I set up this portfolio to display my skill set, discuss new topics in cyber security, and advertize my freelance IT and information security services. I started studying cyber security in 2018 through a jump start program in my high school. In 2021, I graduated from Howard Community College with an Associates degree in Cyber Security. In 2025, I graduated from University of Maryland Baltimore County with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.

Home Lab Architecture

In preparation for the OSCP exam, I designed and deployed a virtualized enterprise-style networking architecture to simulate internal attack surfaces within an Active Directory environment.

DES - Meet in the Middle Attack Simulation

Built an encryption program that utilizes the DES algorithm to encrypt and decrypt messages. I've then used that same algorithm to mount a Meet in the Middle attack through brute forcing secret keys.
