Welcome to my website. I was getting frustrated with LinkedIn. It is the fourth time my LinkedIn account got locked out or "banned". I confirmed I am not doing anything that either is suspicious or malicious. I don't know what their reasoning is for icing me out.
I decided to create a portfolio/website. This is a static website, nothing fancy and straight to the point. Since I am not a web developer I am learning as I go along, which at the same time I will beautify this. The main objective of this portfolio/website is to showcase myself and to connect/network with individual(s) or companies.
The contents will be mostly about Cybersecurity, but I will also include none Cybersecurity contents.
Hello! I am Miguel. I am based out of British Columbia, Canada. I am Cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience with offensive and defensive. I tend to lean more into the offensive side, but at the same time I still like the defensive side. I consider myself a "jack of all trades, master of none".This resonate with anyone in the Information Technology field or in the Cybersecurity field. Whatever the tasking(s) is, I will get it done. I am also an Open-source Intelligence (OSINT) practitioner. OSINT may look simple to most people, but the thought process is what fascinate me.
Currently, I am actively seeking employment in a Cybersecurity role that would be either offensive or defensive. The job can be either full-time, part-time, or contract. Ideally, I would want the job to be local to me but I am flexible if the job is fully remote.
Below is a highlight of my resume. For my full resume contact me by email, ocean0racle@protonmail.com, and I will provide it to you.
Installed three Sony Bravia 65" Smart TV for a prviate client. The process wasn't difficult but the private client wasn't too comfortable of setting up the technical portion. Which was setting up the network, in this case it was WiFi, applying updates, linking up required Cloud accounts, install other streaming applications, reviewing additional configurations, and doing a final confirmation. Fortunately, I didn't have to do mount any brackets.
Even though this wasn't necessary Cybersecurity related there was an element of IT, which was setting up the network. Plus, I get to get my hands dirty and do physical work.
I built a virtualized environment that comprise of a virtual Ubuntu machine and a virtual Windows to practice various Blue Teaming TTP(tactics, techniques, procedures) such as network traffic analysis, log analysis, phishing analysis, and other methodologies.
Below are the following tools that were used.Since this lab is part of the course, it is intellectual property of TCM Security Academy. I truly respect of what TCM Security does and their contribution to the cybersecurity community. I will not post the setup guide. If you want to see the lab and set it up yourself, go sign up for the course. You will not be disappointed.This is the link to TCM Security's Academy, TCM Security Academy.

I built a virtualized environment that comprise of a virtual Windows Active Directory, two virtual Windows machines, and one attacker machine that is Kali Linux to practice various Penetration Testing TTP(tactics, techniques, procedures) such as LLMNR poisoning, Pass the hash/Pass the Password, token impersonation, kerberoasting, golden ticket attack, SMB relay attack, and IPv6 DNS attack.
Below are the following tools that were used on specific attacks.

Configured a Raspberry Pi to a wireless Penetration Test box to learn wifi attack such on WPA2-PSK. I installed Kali Linux onto the Raspberry Pi. The built-in wifi adapter is compatible, so I was able to conduct a wireless Penetration Test. I used Aircrack-ng for the wifi attack.
This is one of the setup guide I used for this project, Setup Raspberry Pi as wifi Pentest boxConfigured a ESP32-CAM to be a camera. I used two resources to complete the project; Getting started with a esp32-cam and Create a Wi-Fi Spy Camera with an ESP32-CAM. The second link which is a youtube video was for me check it out from a different perspective.
Below are the conferences I have attended. I plan to attend more. While DEFCON is the biggest and well known conference, I actually like Bsides. Bsides is small but seems to be more community driven.
On October 14, 2025 Microsoft has ended supporting Windows 10. But there is somewhat of a good news. Microsoft has the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. This option is to continue getting security updates from Microsoft till October 13, 2026. This is the official link from Microsoft, Microsoft Extended Security Update Program. In the end of the day Microsoft is forcing you to either upgrade your computer or buy a new computer.
There is another option that is better in my own opinion. This option is free, it is secure, not invasive of privacy, and has a supportive community. It is Linux. Yes, there are many Linux distrubtions (linux distro) out there but there are three that is quite user friendly. Below are those three Linux distro.
Since it is the obligatory Cybersecurity awareness month, thought this blog would be appropriate. If you search Cybersecurity you might be put off by the fact it looks complex, difficult to learn and understand, and looks like none technical individuals will not understand it. In my opinion Cybersecurity can be easily learned and understood by anyone.
There are an abundance of information out there about which Cybersecurity tips is the best. Below are my tips I believe that are practical and applicable to the everday individuals.
Keeping up with Cybersecurity news can be overwhelming as there are a lot resources to look at. For me personally there are two resource that is my go to.
This is my first entry. My website/portfolio is live. I will be updating and beautify this as I learn.
