Hello everybody!
I'm Dorian, 41 years old from Romania, I'm a web & graphic designer quite fond of cybersecurity intelligence and pentest. I've joined this community to offer and receive information on web applications security and vulnerability. I know, normally I should not care about security hence I'm just a designer, but in 20 years I've encountered numerous and various situations of defacing and hacking and I needed to learn how to protect my work or my client's websites.
In time I succeeded to offer a minimal and required percent of security and now I'm offering this service to all my clients if they agree. I do web application pentest on my own work and usually I ask other people to pentest and/or give me an opinion.
I'm present on a series of websites where I can exchange knowledge but no Romanian ones, thus I've joined RST and I'm greeting the community for a good work and activity. I know that because one of my friends has referred RST to me.
My everyday activity consists of designing websites, offering counseling to my clients, pentesting applications, doing some social engineering for a few companies with 100s of employees and filter the weak ones. As tools I use two laptop PCs with Slackware ( Predator Helios 300 17" - for production) and Kali Linux in dual boot with Tails (ASUS Vivobook - for pentest related stuff). I run a couple of VMs, too - I have to (macOS and Windows).
I use only FOSS for production and stay with it. I do my graphics using GIMP and Inkscape, I write my code with gEdit and Bluefish, check my mail and handle calendar with Evolution. For penetration testing I use the well-known tools provided by Kali Linux plus a few more like uniscan, SPF, Katana Framework, routerspolit, whatweb, airgeddon, weeman. When it's the case I "drop" the RubberDucky which I took the time to customise a bit, I'm not a pro in pentest (I'm a pro in design), but I've managed to create some scripts that brought me good enough results. Other than that, I have a small KIT of antenna's, loads of cables (perhaps too many, hehe), external drives with tools for cloning machines, extract information etc. Ah, and of course, the screw-driver KIT and pliers and a chocolate, you never know when you need it
I'm not sure yet what my contribution will be for the RST community, but I'm glad I'm here and looking forward to make friends, read your threads and perhaps have some geek fun.
Cheers,
Dorian
