About Austin Kruse

Hey there! I'm Austin. I've been in Web Development & Tech Support for years, while training to transition into to Cybersecurity. I went to college for Cyber Operations Engineering (Accredited by DoD/NSA). Certificates- CompTIA Security+ ce (2024)- TryHackMe Cyber Defense Pathway (2024)- Linux Essentials (2022)- TryHackMe CompTIA Pentest+(2022) with more to come. I have a vast knowledge of both Offensive (Red Team) & Defensive (Blue Team) cybersecurity material. For more specifics, on what I've publicly completed, please visit my TryHackMe profile page, https://tryhackme.com/p/TaqTix & Lab write-ups on GitHub, I'm in the top 2% of TryHackMe users, my profile will show you the 130+'rooms'(concepts) I've completed and provide a brief explanation of what concepts they pertain to. For years I've been discouraged to switch to Cybersecurity because I just didn't have the "experience" on paper, for this reason I've started creating walkthroughs for cybersecurity labs to better showcase all of the new tools & topics I have hands-on experience with. Lab write-ups are on my GitHub - I'm now working on completing the SOC Level 2 Pathway from TryHackMe. I'm also studying for my OSCP, by completing TJ Null's updated list of practice machines. My GitHub: https://github.com/AustinKruse where I can much better showcase my new projects, skillsets & walkthroughs on challenges. TryHackMe: https://tryhackme.com/p/TaqTix - showcases all the rooms I've completed. I like to play video games, or CTFs like TryHackMe & HackTheBox, in my free time. I've completed the Cyber Defense Pathway on TryHackMe - https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/blueteam & & the CompTIA Pentest+ Pathway https://tryhackme.com/path/outline/pentestplus & & the Cyber Security 101 Pathway - https://tryhackme.com/r/path/outline/cybersecurity101 Thanks for reading, Austin Kruse.
