@danydan
Aspiring Penetration Tester practicing web exploitation and vulnerability assessment on TryHackMe.
What I'm looking for
My professional basketball career spanned 23 years at the highest levels, with teams across Italy and appearances in EuroLeague and for the Italian national team. I’m bringing the discipline, resilience, and ability to work under pressure I developed in sport to cybersecurity.
I study technology and computer science daily and practice through hands-on labs and realistic simulations on TryHackMe. There, I work on network and service enumeration, web exploitation, and privilege escalation.
My practice also covers Active Directory and vulnerability assessment, including analyzing vulnerabilities and writing technical reports. My cybersecurity toolkit includes Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite, Gobuster, Netcat, Metasploit, and Kali Linux.
I hold CompTIA Security+ and Ethical Hacking Associate (EHA) certifications. I’m working toward a career as a Penetration Tester or Red Team Operator, contributing to infrastructure security through vulnerability assessment, ethical hacking, and security testing.
