Hi, I’m Justin Dowling. I’m a hands-on penetration tester in training with a strong focus on building secure, resilient systems. I operate a home lab to simulate real-world attacks, perform vulnerability assessments with Nessus, Burp Suite, Nmap, and Wireshark, and practice adversary emulation in sandboxed environments. I also design and manage cloud-based services, troubleshoot networks, and harden firewalls and domains to defend against threats. Beyond security, I enjoy 3D asset development with Blender, Maya, and Unity, and I’m pursuing a Private Pilot License. I started Virtualize Everything to share virtualization and cybersecurity concepts through educational content, including an educational YouTube channel with thousands of subscribers and a dedicated learning website.…Hi, I’m Justin Dowling.
