About Boschko

Hi everyone! My name is Olivier Laflamme, but I also go by "Boschko" on social media. I'm an AI Red Teamer at HiddenLayer, where I lead and scale our professional services, deliver training, and collaborate on research. Before this, I was a Senior Security Specialist of Adversary Emulation (Red Team) at the Royal Bank of Canada, leading red team operations, conducting hypothesis-driven testing, developing custom tooling, loaders, implants, and finding lots of 0-days. I began my career as a Cyber Security Analyst (Penetration Tester) at GoSecure.

In terms of certifications, I am currently CISSP, BSCP, CRTL, OSCP, CRTO, eWPTX, eCCPT, and eJPT certified. I'm Omniscient rank on Hack The Box and I've completed APTLabs, Cybernetics, Rastalabs, Offshore, Dante, and Zephyr, Xen, P.O.O, Hades ProLabs. I've also completed VulnLab's Shiva lab.

With where I'm at in my career, I find more joy & value in trainings. I'm somewhat mentally checked out of pursuing certifications. Some of the trainings I've completed include:

• Blackhat Machine Learning - By Dreadnode
• Offensive Entra ID (Azure AD) And Hybrid AD Security - By Outsider Security
• Adversary Tactics: Mac Tradecraft - By SpecterOps
• Adversary Tactics: Mac Tradecraft - By SpecterOps
• Adversary Tactics: Vulnerability Research for Operators - By SpecterOps 
• Adversary Tactics: Red Team Operations - By SpecterOps
• Attacking And Defending Physical Access Control Systems - By Red Team Alliance
• Red Team Training - By Charles F. Hamilton

As far as competitions and CTFs, I've had many top 3 finishes in random/popular CTFs, but I'm most proud of my 1st place finish at Northsec 2022, 1st place finish at NorthSec 2021, and 3rd place at NorthSec 2020.

I mainly specialize in guessing. I primarily solve challenges ranging from pwn to crypto, from crypto to bruteforce, from bruteforce to ESP, and from ESP back to guessing…
