Hi, I’m Manny.
I am a Cyber Security Analyst with a keen interest in Ethical Hacking, Low Level Attacks, Malware Analysis And Reverse Engineering.
Education

Projects and Research
I love to research in the field of Active Directory security and Malware Analysis. Some projects I have done recently are setting up my own pentesting lab with Microsoft Azure and practicing Active Directory attacks, analysing and locally deploying Phish Kits. I have also set up my own isolated Malware Analysis and development lab to develop skills in this area.
