Activities
Despite of what somebody think, it does exists people that are both system administrators and programmers. I'm one of them.
How is that possible? Well, it's easy: I started my career in IT as an electronic technician. When your are used to create the hardware and write the code from the first to the last bit, it's normal to become both of them - if you won't get crazy, of course.
And when you count the memory in bytes, your code is fu#@!ng fast.
And good.

Ethical Hacking
Ethical hackers protect you from non-ethical hackers.
The difference is not in the knowledge, but how the latter is used.
OSWA and OSWP certified.

System Administration
Only Linux servers, please.
No Windows, since I like to sleep tight at night.

Coding
PHP, C/C++ and Python are my favourites, but I can use almost any language from the assembly code on.
Any kind of device, even if nowadays most of the code runs on the Web.

Electronics
Robotics is my passion.
And the best way to make it real is to create robots with raw components and bits!

Offensive Security Web Assessor
Offensive Security Web Assessors (OSWAs) have demonstrated the ability to assess web applications, discover web application vulnerabilities, and exploit vulnerabilities to exfiltrate sensitive data, compromise user accounts, and obtain remote code execution.
OSWAs can perform black box assessments of web applications, discover common web application vulnerabilities, exploit web application vulnerabilities using manual and automated techniques.
They are able to assist web development teams in securing web app by proactively discovering vulnerabilities.

Offensive Security Wireless Professional
OSWPs are able to identify existing encryptions and vulnerabilities in 802.11 networks. They can circumvent network security restrictions and recover the encryption keys in use. Skills learned include:
* Greater insight into wireless offensive security and expanded awareness of the need for real-world security solutions
* Using various wireless reconnaissance tools
* Implementing attacks against WPA Personal and Enterprise encrypted networks
* Understanding how to implement different rogue access point attacks
* Implementing attacks against Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) networks
* Using various tools to crack authentication hashes
* Implementing attacks against Captive Portals
The exam also demonstrates that OSWPs are able to perform under imposed time constraints.
