Welcome to the LightSec blog!
I am graduate student at Towson University in Baltimore. I am working on a M.S. in Computer Science with a focus in the security field. During my undergraduate career at Mount Saint Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, MD, I became quite interested in the field of security after studying some principles in an independent study. Since then, I have been enjoying testing and experimenting with security tools and exploits against machines that I host in a virtual lab environment. I am currently focusing on learning more about Android application and operating system security. I hope that I can share my knowledge and introduce others to the world of security.
I have always learned the most through lab-like tutorials and hands on practice. Therefore, I will utilize many vulnerable VMs (using VMware Player) and practical resources that I will provide links to on another page.
Best,
Branden Ehrenreich
