Guest Bio and links: I'm a hacker, pentester, wiz-bang exploit slinger hiding in the shadows and co-host of the Cyber Threat Perspective Podcast. I currently do offensive security things at SecurIT360, primarily focused on internal pentesting/assume breach, which I really really enjoy. I love PowerShell, Windows and Active Directory. I consider myself a blue-hearted red teamer.
