Hello,
I am a Security Professional and Red Team member with strong hands-on experience in penetration testing, vulnerability management, and web infrastructure security, focused on real-world attack scenarios and business impact.
I have worked performing penetration tests across company assets, vulnerability analysis, and security assessments, always with an attacker mindset and a consultant-level reporting approach.
In addition, I bring 10 years of experience in hosting environments, working directly with Linux servers and web infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on web security and incident response, including:
Malware identification and removal (site cleanup)
Investigation of compromised websites to determine how the attack occurred
Identification of weaknesses in web systems and hosting configurations
Hardening of servers, CMS platforms, and applications
Solving complex issues related to shared, VPS, and dedicated hosting environments
I am also a WordPress security expert, with extensive experience securing, cleaning, and hardening WordPress websites after real-world attacks, not just theoretical vulnerabilities.
My technical experience includes:
Web Application Pentesting (OWASP Top 10, auth flaws, file upload issues, RCE, LFI/RFI, SQLi, XSS)
Active Directory and internal security assessments
Red Team operations and attack simulation
Linux servers, hosting infrastructure, and web stacks
Clear technical and executive reporting with actionable remediation steps
What you can expect from me:
Practical, real-world security approach
Clear communication and transparency
Evidence-based findings (PoCs when applicable)
Actionable recommendations, not generic advice
If you are looking for someone who understands how attackers think, how websites actually get hacked, and how to fix and prevent it, I would be glad to discuss your project.
Best regards,
Andre Olivato
