About Me

Hi, I'm Brandon Aperocho! I am a recent University of Toronto graduate with a Information Security Specialist and a Mathematics Minor.

With my spare time, I currently enjoy playing games such as Super Smash Bros. Melee, Apex Legends and Monster Hunter: World. When I am not playing games, I also like to watch the League of Legends esports competitive scene and the NBA. I also enjoy reading and watching videos on new tech to learn about and stay up to date with the fast growing tech world.

With my studies, I have become thoroughly passionate about cyber security, automation, and software development. If you think you have some opportunities that I may be interested in and think I may be a perfect fit, feel free to contact me and download my resumé!

Education

University of Toronto

Specialist in Information Security and Minor in Mathematics • Sept. 2014 - June 2019

Some of the courses that I have enjoyed during my university career were: Computer and Information Security, Data Structures and Algorithms, Software Design and Engineering, Computer Complexity and Computability, and Computer Forensics.

Computer and Information Security covered some fun topics such as buffer overflow exploits and defenses, OWASP top 10, penetration testing, and teaching a lecture on a chosen topic to the class. The topics I chose to research with a partner were John the Ripper (an offline password cracking tool) and Stegosploit ("A way to deliver an exploit with STYLE!").

Computer Forensics covered some topics such as computer ethics, some basic law, finding and reporting metadata, general investigation protocols and hardware tools, investigation principles by ACPO, IOCE, and NIJ, and using AXIOM and OSINT.
