Today's article is going to focus on talking a bit about the overall goal of my brand and what I intend to do with it. Iβve been a bit vague on that for a while now, often dropping breadcrumbs here and there, mostly due to not wanting to make empty promises, but considering how things are going so far and with some of my latest announcements, I figured now's the best time to discuss all of that with you.

Iβve been a bit vague on that for a while now, often dropping breadcrumbs here and there, mostly due to not wanting to make empty promises, but considering how things are going so far and with some of my latest announcements, I figured now's the best time to discuss all of that with you.
I'll be discussing the following topics in order: π White Paper Research π Tool Development π Independent Contractor π The Evil HERO Branch You can click on any of the topics to simply check that one out if it interests you! NOTE: Articles are read from LEFT to RIGHT via 2 columns! Read the first column all the way down and then move to the next one!
Here's a quick run down on all the main links that are in the article in case you want to check them out first. π LinkedIn Version π My Patreon π My LinkTree π YouPic Feature π Lan Turtle LIVE Demo π My Services π The Evil HERO
One of the main aspects of my brand is the white paper research I develop, where I create article and video based material that focus on offensive security and many other skill traits I happen to possess that can be applied to βPRACTICALβ hacking on a fundamental level. Itβs basically research material that can be more realistically applied to the real world vs most ethical material that tends to be on the simulated side of things. You could also say in a sense Iβm taking simulated material and creating REAL world applications for it.
Iβm also designing a mentorship program that will help speed up the process on what people do and donβt need to know in order to get into Cyber Security, as well as get them ready for several certs all in one goal. This is long in development and wonβt be available until another 4 or 5 years or so. It could be sooner depending on how things go.
The goal of all of this is not to only be a form of revenue I can make by teaching and training up and coming Cyber Security professionals, but as a means to serve as a large scale portfolio that shows what Iβm fully capable of.
Thereβs also a sub category branch in here thatβs going to feature some stuff that will focus on helping more women get into Cyber and tech overall as theyβre mega underrepresented.
You can find out more about this in my Patreon. Reviews of my mentoring sessions can be found in my LinkTree.
One of the things Iβll be focusing on in the long run will be tool development, ranging from a variety of custom software tools to aid penetration testers for exploitation development, as well as physical tools that can aid physical penetration testers.
You can find out more about that on my YouPic page here.
In terms of the physical side of things, think of me as the more βgamifiedβ version of what hack5 does. Iβm modeling tools that are themed from some of my favorite video game series of all time while still being realistic enough to be applicable to the real world.
For example, one of my main ongoing projects is a custom penetration testing drone Iβm working on thatβs inspired from Watch Dogs 2.
Check out this video I made a while back of a custom rubber ducky I made that acts as a LAN turtle, writing its own code and pwning a system via a custom Python script.
I havenβt spoken on this much until now, but one of the main end goals for me in the long run so Iβm never in a situation where Iβm out of work, is I want to become an independent contractor that provides penetration testing services and a variety of other things to people. You can find out more about the services I plan to provide on this page here for the company Iβm currently partnered with to provide services through my brand.
Itβs no shocker, but in todayβs tech market ESPECIALLY for Cyber Security, you mustn't rely on an employer to give you a chance or keep you in Cyber. You need to do that yourself.
By having my own flow of contractor work, not only do I stay in the game and gain more experience, but I put myself in a situation where it presents more full time opportunities for me by networking me via contracts, BUT, I also am in a situation where I donβt have to rely on an employer to keep money in pocket. Itβs a win win situation IF I play my cards right which Iβve been doing so far. Itβs all a matter of perseverance and being patient.
Iβm starting an official LLC soon so Iβll be able to provide said services on the book to people, as well as the many other services that have been talked about so far in my article.
