My name is Hoshtoo, also known as Stew, and I am a Cybersecurity Major at the University of North Georgia.

I graduated High School with my Associate’s degree in Computer Science in Spring 2024 and have been attending UNG since. I am currently the President and Red Team Captain for the CyberHawks cybersecurity club at UNG and regularly compete on the Blue Team as well. I have also served as the Operations Lead for the CyberHawks and been an active participant in the Cyber Specialty Unit at UNG as a student presenter and coach.

I am the rank of Pro Hacker on HackTheBox and hold certifications such as the GIAC Experienced Incident Handler, GIAC Certified Incident Handler, GIAC Security Essentials, GIAC Foundational Cybersecurity Technologies, CompTIA CySA+, CompTIA Security+, and plenty more.

My main focuses are in Penetration Testing and Reverse Engineering, and I am currently continuing my education by working on OffSec’s PEN-200 and studying for the OSCP, as well as taking SANS SEC598 and studying for the GIAC AI Security Automation Engineer certification.
