Duane L. Blanchard

I am passionate about security leadership (culture shifting), organizational development, threat modeling, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessment. My career has covered various roles: • security architecture • process engineering • security assessment • penetration testing • text and data mining (data science, i.e. "big data"​) • applied cryptography (public key infrastructure [PKI]) • technical writing • web development • software testing • technical border security (Boeing SBInet) I've held over 30 paying jobs since I was seven years old, all of them legal and wholesome, but not wholly safe. My breadth of experience helps me see past constraints that obscure solutions from others. I hold the following certifications: Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH) GIAC Penetration Tester (GPEN) GIAC Security Essentials (GSEC) Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) I am also proud of my research leading to a U.S. Patents for "Selective Downlink Data Encryption System for Satellites, "​ and "Semantically Mediated Access to Knowledge."​ These past years, I've greatly developed as an organizational leader and team member, and have been able to collaborate on some incredible projects. I have strengthened my technical communication and writing skills through reporting on programs' progress and conclusions, and drafting my patent applications. Specialties: penetration testing, packet crafting, cryptography, social engineering, semantic modeling and reasoning, data analysis, text analysis, Python, Perl, Android, Java, Windows testing and process automation (especially Autohotkey). MS Windows and Office power user. Linux (primarily Debian [Kali]).
