Introduction
Hello and welcome to my page, my name is Ashton Owen and I'm part of the 2022 graduating class. I joined 24pinTech my sophomore year as a technician with only the little knowledge I had learned in the 20+1 program in middle school. I had always been passionate about computers but this class jumpstarted what would soon become my future career. Covid-19 soon befell the world and I was confined to my home, it was during this pandemonium that I found my role in the Cybersecurity field. I originally worked on the SIEM project that we have now, though I was quickly moved off of that and found myself researching how to secure our domain controllers. I soon found myself researching server hardening scripts, and through some trial and error I had successfully implemented the server hardening scripts.

Projects
Server Hardening - Done!
My first real project in this class! Information and instructions for this project can be found here.
Host Hardening - Scrapped.
The next logical step for what project I should do next. The script that I used for this project ended up causing too much friction with normal class operations, most notably the disabling of UAC (User Access Control) prompts. A valiant effort to secure our labs, though it just didn't turn out as I'd hoped.
Server Migration - Done!
I ended up being a helping hand migrating the servers to a new rack over Christmas break in 2021. I helped plan where the servers would go in the rack and physically moved the servers out of the old rack and into the new one. I may not maintain the servers in there, but it's one of my favorite experiences of being in 24pinTech.
Cyber Range Infrastructure - Shelved.
Creating a CTF - Shelved.
What am I doing now?
Right now I'm studying Computer Science with a focus in Cybersecurity at ASU's Tempe campus. I'm actively looking for an Internship at some of the major players in the industry to try and build my repertoire of skills.
