Penetration Testing

Obsessed with Pentesting

Hello, my name is Rian Friedt, and I am an aspiring penetration tester with a deep passion for identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities in systems and networks. I hold multiple certifications, including Offensive Security Certified Professional+ (OSCP+), Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP), Certified Red Team Operator (CRTO), Offensive Security Wireless Professional (OSWP), and Certified Red Team Professional (CRTP). These have provided me with a solid foundation in ethical hacking, wireless network security, and active directory exploitation. I am particularly focused on gaining real-world experience in red teaming and penetration testing to help organizations strengthen their security posture against evolving threats. My goal is to leverage my skills in ethical hacking to safeguard valuable data and contribute to building more secure environments. I am eager to continue my professional growth and work toward becoming an expert in the field of cybersecurity.
