Hi, I'm Minh.
I do cybersecurity.

I am an 18 year old security researcher studying computer science at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

In my free time, I play CTFs and code random things.

This is the story of how I created a botnet of IPTVs to rickroll 10,000+ students for my senior prank.

Here are my certifications.

I am committed to reaching the highest standards and pushing the limits of my knowledge.

Below are some of my experiences.

101sec Cyber Team

During high school, I established 101sec as a student-led program with the mission to make infosec engaging for students. I helped organize events, recruit new members, and educate others about cybersecurity. Today, I continue to mentor the team.

101sec Network

A side hobby that evolved into something larger, I work as a system administrator for the 101sec Minecraft server. By running this server for the past three years, I've learned how to handle incidents, perform maintenance, deploy new services, and ensure uptime while using best practices in security.

FIRST Robotics

I'm proud to have competed in FIRST robotics for over eight years and I'm honored to be a part of FIRST alumni. During my time with WildStang (FRC 111), I worked heavily with Java using a custom framework to program functions for the robot. I also developed strong communication and teamwork skills.
