// About

Cybersecurity professional. Licensed investigator. Network mapper.

A Master's in Cybersecurity Management, years of incident response and red-team work, and a private-investigator license. The intersection of digital forensics and licensed field investigation -- rare, and deliberately so.

I founded the #wardriving team on WiGLE, now the #2 ranked team in the world with 143+ members and 23+ million networks discovered. This site is the archive: the tools, the films, the wardriving guides, and the research into the culture that built the shadow internet. Information wants to be free. Everything here is shared in that spirit.
