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
After completing my BCS accredited Computer Science degree at Keele University with a 1st Class (Hons). I had then went on to complete my GCHQ accredited Masters in Information Security at Royal Holloway University of London with a Distinction.

My Msc project was titled: Investigating what is the most effective way of applying IoT security testing frameworks to medical devices.
Certifications and Training
Over the past year I have delved deeper into what it means to be a blue teamer. I have taken and passed a threat hunting and malware analysis exam with the hopes of diving into Incident response and forensics next. I am very keen on learning malware development and am currently taking Sektor7's Malware Development Essentials course.

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.
