Hello! My name is Mike and I am an infosec engineer with 10+ years experience. I’ve worked in GRC, Vulnerability Management, PenTesting & AppSec. I have 17 SANS certs (I have a serious problem) and I’m also an infosec community enthusiast and creator/mod for /c/cybersecurity. AMA!
Did you pay for all those SANS certs yourself, or company foot the bill?
What’s been most memorable incident or PenTest finding?
I’d be either very broke or have to be very rich to have paid for all of those haha. Fortunately, I worked for a company that had a very generous training allotment. I’ve also managed to take quite a few entirely free by being part of their vTA (virtual TA) community, whereby I help instructors throughout the week of the course with student questions, lab setup, etc…
I can’t go into too much detail on vulns specifically but I’ve found a number of high impact vulns in public-facing websites for companies I have worked for as well as one vuln in a popular proxy appliance that I should have submitted a CVE for but never did at the time.
We may have crossed paths if you TA for SANS… Pretty sure I know some other details for that proxy appliance vuln, or maybe it’s just a real common vector.
