Secure Design
Building security into your project from the beginning.
Trainings & CTFs
Learning security through labs and workshops
The best way to level up your company’s product security is by giving your SMEs security knowledge. This can happen in a number of ways including custom trainings and CTFs (gamified hacking environments that target specific cybersecurity skills).
Lightfoot Labs can help your organization’s security culture through custom trainings and hands-on CTFs and labs. Past trainings have covered embedded systems security, web hacking, PCB design, and truck hacking.
CTFs
We all know hands-on knowledge is highly prized within tech, and the rise of CTF platforms in the last couple decades have made it easy for people to legally practice and develop these skills. I should know–CTFing is a big part of how I transitioned from engineering and software into cybersecurity.
I have developed and run a number of CTFs, including:
- 5 years of running US Cyber Challenge’s “CyberBowl” CTF each fall, and two summer CTFs for hundreds of remote students.
- Developing CTF challenges for various platforms professionally, covering web, pwn, RE, specialized hardware, and other miscellaneous challenges.
- Developed the capstone CTF for the first community college ICS security curriculum in the US.
- Volunteered with Car Hacking Village to run a remote car hacking CTF in 2021, and volunteered challenges and mentorship in The Diana Initiative’s CTF.

Past Trainings
I have created custom trainings, workshops, and presentations across a number of different topics for companies, universities, and non-profits including:
- Developed and taught a class on Web Hacking Fundamentals as part of US Cyber Challenge’s 2023 summer bootcamps alongside SANS instructors.
- Developed and taught an 8-hour Intro to PCB Design workshop
- Developed and presented a “What Embedded Engineers Need to Know About Security” talk for an engineering consultancy.
- CyberTruck Challenge Mentor (presenting on RP1210 as a protocol and DLL shimming)
