Cybersecurity enthusiast specializing in DFIR and offensive security. I build attack scenarios in my HomeLab, exploit vulnerabilities, then investigate the evidence—analyzing logs, reconstructing timelines, and mapping threats to MITRE ATT&CK. Top 200 globally at Hack The Box University CTF 2025.
Hands-on security research and technical implementations
Enterprise-simulated security homelab with 5-7 VMs modeling real-world attack scenarios across segmented Linux and Windows networks. Conducted red team operations and blue team incident response.
Comprehensive web application security testing covering SQL Injection, XSS, Broken Access Control, CSRF, and authentication bypass techniques through PortSwigger Academy labs.
Documented DFIR investigations, threat intelligence analyses, and CTF writeups. Each entry reconstructs attacker timelines, maps techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, and details the forensic methodology used.
Open source intelligence gathering using public records, social media platforms, and databases. Applied cross-verification methodology and synthesized data into actionable intelligence reports.
Competitive cybersecurity accomplishments and rankings
Ranked Top 200 globally and Top 5 in India among 5,000+ participating teams. Led a 3-member team through complex multi-domain challenges requiring advanced exploitation techniques and collaborative problem-solving under time pressure.
