Security Researcher
A bit about me: I'm a security researcher with a passion for reverse engineering, embedded device hacking, and sharing my skills with others.
I work with hardware, software, and everything inbetween! I've long been fascinated with information security and have performed security assessments on a wide range of technologies including aerospace, automotive, telecoms, government, finance, and more.
I also design software and hardware exploit toolkits, analysis tools, and training workshops among other things.
I've worked extensively with NGOs, governments, and private sector to ensure their infrastructure is as secure as possible.
I originally started my foray into exploit development through software licence scheme audits which eventually grew into an interest in WIndows/Linux/iOS/Android system internals.
I've since developed and patented several software and hardware implant solutions, as well as tools for detecting and analyzing malware, as well as gathering attribution information.
I spent several years working in publishing, UX, and UI. As a result I have a keen sense of design.
Coupled with a degree in visual arts, and a background in application/web design, I bring a cutting-edge creative flair to all my endeavours.

Ever since I was young, I loved taking things apart to see how they worked. That drive has only grown in intensity and has helped hone my skills as an experienced threat analyst, penetration tester and security auditor.
I feel that by keeping a finger on the pulse to cybersecurity developments I can react faster to emerging threats and neutralize attackers more efficiently
The best part about learning new skills and techniques is getting to pass those skills on to others. I run free OSCP preparation courses, and Intro to Infosec courses for zero cost to individuals. I also offer bespoke, enterprise-grade training solutions and hands-on workshops upon demand.

I have over 10 years of experience in penetration testing, GRC, and device auditing. My outside-the-box approach allows me to hit targets that people aren't even aware exist. I have experience with an extremely wide variety of tools, and enjoy the challenge presented by attacking secure computer systems.
I love teaching, and sharing my skills with others. I also greatly enjoy harnessing this energy and directing it into running workshops, OSCP prep classes, and employee cybersafety training sessions.
With several years of experience in digital and physical publishing, as well as a degree in art, I have a real love for good design. I believe very strongly in attention to detail and apply this philosophy throughout my all facets of my work.
Whether it's a smart cart, smartphone or anything inbetween, I can attack it. I have experience in auditing the security of a wide range of devices from smart cars, to alarm systems, to prototype mobile phones. I love a new challenge, and can often be found dissecting consumer electronics.
To say that Jack is exceptionally talented is an understatement. I haven't yet met somebody who can match his vast knowledge of, and skills in the intricacies of the cybersecurity field. His process of analysis and problem solving are so outside the box, and creative that it never ceases to amaze me.
Jack is incredibly generous in sharing his knowledge and insights, and I have learnt a lot from him. He would be an invaluable addition to any organisation he joins. On a personal level, Jack is very friendly, articulate and fun to be around.

I've always been really interested in cybersecurity, and Jack lit a fire within me that set me down my own path of discovery and learning in this field. The time he takes to explain difficult concepts in easy to understand language is invaluable.
Since I began training with Jack my knowledge and skills in cybersecurity have increased by magnitudes. Jack is fantastic, and has a contagious passion for hacking. You won't regret working with him.
Jack has been an absolutely pleasure to work with in every way. His deep understanding of security concepts with his ability to translate it to plain English makes him an extremely capable security engineer and leader.
Time spent with Jack will be time well invested, and his knowledge of computer security will leave you stunned.
KEEYPRO is a daisychain-enabled hardware input button array that can be surface mounted to almost any device. It can operate over WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB with an external adapter.
It's designed to allow for the mapping of complex HID inputs from devices such as keyboards, or mice to single input buttons.
Complex actions and inputs can be prerecorded to be executed over simulated mouse+keyboard input on the target device.
Multiple KEEYPRO devices can be daisychained together for larger button arrays.
