Cyber Technical Targeting Analyst
Booz Allen Hamilton, Mc Lean, VA, United States
Cyber Technical Targeting Analyst
Do you enjoy the thrill of the hunt? Are you motivated by the head-to-head challenge of gaining access to well-protected networks? As a network exploitation professional, you know that understanding the adversaries’ tactics, techniques, and procedures are critical to producing the intel that enables the success of mission owners. At Booz Allen, you can apply your vulnerability analysis, network mapping, exploitation, defensive, and IT logging process experience to execute offensive cyber operations that inform our nation’s most critical security missions.
On our team, you’ll be trusted to probe targets using the latest network-based analysis tools like XKEYSCORE, DataXplorer, Mando, Wireshark, Metasploit, Nmap, Burp Suite, and the MITRE ATT&CK Framework. Using your innate curiosity and technical expertise, you’ll use available information to select attack vectors and match attack vectors to tools, capabilities, and mission intent. You’ll guide government and law enforcement agencies by leveraging multi‑intelligence collection and advanced technical targeting methodologies such as ELINT, COMINT, Maltego, and Python-based automation to gain access and perform actions on the targeted network as required.
In this role, you’ll mentor a team as it uncovers previously unknown and emerging adversary capabilities that impact global national security and Department of Defense operations by fusing technical collection with target development to identify critical vulnerabilities in adversary infrastructure. With opportunities to share both your technology base and tool knowledge, you’ll guide a growing team committed to developing creative solutions for our classified customers.
