• Solid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, SMB, LDAP, HTTP/S
• Working knowledge of Windows and Active Directory, including common misconfigurations
• Comfortable in a Linux terminal
• Familiarity with standard tooling such as Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, Impacket, BloodHound, Responder, Hashcat, and Burp Suite
• Basic scripting in Python, PowerShell, or Bash
• Strong written communication and a professional client-facing demeanor
Preferred Qualifications

• Prior systems or network administration experience
• Exposure to cloud or web application testing
