Field Work

2025 — Present
Personal Lab
Personal SOC Lab — Wazuh SIEM
Security Analyst (Self-Directed)
  • Deployed SIEM monitoring multiple endpoints — generated and analyzed 100+ security alerts from simulated attack scenarios
  • Detected brute-force, privilege escalation, and suspicious process execution patterns
  • Tuned detection rules to reduce noise and improve alert relevance during testing
  • Performed log correlation across system, auth, and network events to reconstruct attack timelines

CTF Competition Practice
Offensive Security
  • Ranked in the top 5% on TryHackMe through consistent practice and challenge completion.
  • 50+ hands-on challenges covering web exploitation, Linux privesc, and network enumeration
  • Applied real-world recon → exploitation → post-exploitation methodology on vulnerable systems
  • Sharpened analytical speed under time-constrained, competitive scenarios

Featured Work

Honeypot · Cloud Defense
Cowrie-Honeypot-On-Azure
SSH/Telnet honeypot built with Cowrie and hosted on Azure to observe brute-force activity, capture attacker behavior, and present the results in a full dashboard for IP, credential, and command analysis.
Proof of Work
  • Deployed the honeypot on Azure and exposed it for controlled internet-facing observation.
  • Tracked attacker IPs, passwords, usernames, and shell commands to understand real-world probing patterns.
  • Packaged the findings into a dashboard view for faster triage and reporting.

Detection Engineering · SOC
Network-Intrusion-Detection-Platform
End-to-end network intrusion detection lab that simulates real attack traffic, captures packets, detects threats with Suricata signatures, and enriches alerts with a machine learning model before forwarding everything to Wazuh for correlation and visualization.
Proof of Work
  • Built a full traffic pipeline from attack generation to packet capture, detection, and SIEM correlation.
  • Combined signature-based detection (Suricata) with ML-based scoring to improve visibility on suspicious flows.
  • Integrated alert artifacts (eve.json and ml_alerts.json) into Wazuh to centralize logs and investigation context.
  • Validated the ML stage on NSL-KDD with 99.62% accuracy in lab evaluation.

Web Security · AppSec
Web-App-Security-Lab
Deliberately vulnerable web app simulating SQL Injection, XSS, and IDOR attack vectors — built for attack analysis, detection testing, and understanding exploitation paths vs. defensive countermeasures.
Proof of Work
  • Attack scenarios implemented: SQL Injection, XSS payload injection, and IDOR access bypass.
  • Detection scenario: suspicious input patterns and auth/resource events correlated for analysis.
  • Defense scenarios documented: parameterized queries, output encoding, and authorization checks.
