ABOUT

Name: MORGAN BARBER
Role: Ethical Hacker & Aspiring Red Teamer
Status: ACTIVE
Location: Longmont, CO

I'm an ethical hacker working toward a career in red teaming. I learn by doing: rooting HackTheBox machines, working through challenges and Sherlocks, and writing Python tools to automate what I do by hand.

My focus is the attack path — reconnaissance, web exploitation and privilege escalation — backed by CompTIA Security+ and Network+ fundamentals. I only test what I'm authorized to test, and I write up findings so they get fixed, not just found.

I compete too: picoCTF and Lockheed Martin CYBERQUEST on the offensive side, and CyberPatriot on defense, hardening Windows and Linux systems against the clock. Knowing how systems are defended makes me a better attacker, and the other way around.
