ABOUT BEAU GRAHAM

I’m a Web Application pentester who does some other stuff too. Outside of Web Application testing I have worked on Active Directory pentests, WiFi pentests and NAC bypass pentests. I recently passed the OSCP and hope to get more certs. My background is in IT mostly doing sysadmin and network engineer type work. I have a few CVE’s and made a couple bucks off of bug bounty programs.

My hobbies include learning and practicing my pentesting skills (and streaming it on Twitch), bug bounties, spending time with my wife, and my cat Xiao Long Bao. I also like working on my home network, finding cool EDM music and snowboarding. I also really like pizza. Official Pizza Enthusiast.
