Who am I

My name is Tyler Vaughan. I am an aspiring security professional focused on penetration testing, vulnerability analysis and vulnerability research.

What I do

I spend most of my time on hands-on security work: testing web applications (Legally), working through CTF challenges, and digging into how systems break. Documenting my workflow and refining my methodology.

Why write-ups

Anyone can run a tool. The harder skill is explaining why a vulnerability matters, how it was found, and what a defender should do about it in a language a non-technical person can understand.

Currently exploring

  • Web application security (OWASP Top 10 in depth. Maybe OSWE?)
  • Advanced Active Directory attack paths
  • AI/ML Red Teaming
