Dahvid is an Emulated Mob Boss of a group of emulated criminals, which is a fun way to say he's the CEO of Emulated Criminals. He began his career journey as a Special Operations RTO/Communications operator before pivoting into Offensive Cyber Operations late in his military career. After leaving the military, he led multiple teams, including several international teams, focusing on Red Team/Adversarial Emulation assessment at a Big 4 consulting firm before moving into director-level offensive security roles at smaller organizations. Over the course of his 14+ years in the industry, he has refined his craft in cyber-attack and exploitation, including logical, social, and physical infiltration, alongside expanding his knowledge in defensive realms like incident response and hardening of systems and networks. When not plotting emulated security mayhem, he moonlights as a Malware Development Instructor, demystifying the realm of programming to the next generation of cyber operatives.
