Jake M. — Co-Founder
Jake is currently a Red Team Consultant at Google/Mandiant. He is passionate about creating cutting-edge content for the Offensive Security community that is delivered in both an understandable and accessible way, for everyone from beginner hackers to seasoned security consultants. As part of the #WebHackingSeries, Jake posts a weekly tip involving an in-depth explanation of a technical hacking concept related to Application Security, and occasionally spices things up with a post on Phishing, Network Penetration Testing, or Red Teaming! Jake has extensive experience with bug bounties and the Bugcrowd platform, totaling over 70 discovered vulnerabilities in Fortune 500 companies in the banking, retail, and government industries. He was featured twice on local Pittsburgh news channels, once for developing a smart alarm clock app and again for a web application that helped people decide where to eat during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the last several years Jake has cofounded FTW Sites, a company that provides websites for Chick-fil-A franchises across the country. He has over 100 Chick-fil-A clients, and they are continuing to grow at a rapid pace. He believes the most satisfying part of running the company is the free Chick-fil-A sandwiches!
