About Jack Barradell-Johns
I’m Jack Barradell-Johns, the author of The Hacking Blog, where I share cybersecurity research, red teaming techniques, penetration testing knowledge and practical security write-ups.
My work explores offensive security techniques, how security controls operate, and the defensive considerations that arise from understanding how systems can be attacked.
Cybersecurity Research
I publish technical research exploring security mechanisms, offensive techniques, and their implications for defenders.
Recent research includes:
Research examining Windows Remote Desktop Protocol, drive redirection, potential attack techniques and defensive considerations.
AppLocker Bypasses for Red and Blue Teams
An exploration of Microsoft AppLocker, potential bypass techniques, application control security and auditing approaches.
Penetration Testing and Write-ups
Alongside original research, The Hacking Blog contains practical walkthroughs and technical notes covering Hack The Box, VulnHub and penetration testing.
These articles document approaches to enumeration, exploitation, privilege escalation and other aspects of security testing.
