Malware Analysis Lab
Built an isolated VM-based sandbox to safely detonate and analyze malware samples. Conducted static and dynamic analysis on real-world ransomware and RAT samples using IDA Free, ProcMon, and REMnux.
Hunting threats before they hunt you. Building defenses that adapt, detect, and respond.

I'm a Computer Science student with a deep passion for cybersecurity, specifically focused on becoming a Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst. I thrive on investigating threats, dissecting malware, and building detection rules that catch attackers in the act.
My journey into cybersecurity started when I became fascinated by how adversaries think — and more importantly, how defenders can stay one step ahead. I spend my free time participating in CTF competitions, building home labs, and writing threat investigation reports.
I'm currently seeking internship and entry-level SOC Analyst opportunities where I can contribute to real-world incident response, threat hunting, and security monitoring.
Built an isolated VM-based sandbox to safely detonate and analyze malware samples. Conducted static and dynamic analysis on real-world ransomware and RAT samples using IDA Free, ProcMon, and REMnux.
Investigated suspicious network traffic from a compromised host. Identified C2 beaconing, DNS tunneling artifacts, and lateral movement indicators using Wireshark and NetworkMiner.
Deployed a home lab SIEM using Elastic Stack. Ingested Windows event logs, Sysmon, and firewall logs. Built detection rules for brute force, privilege escalation, and persistence mechanisms mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
Performed full header analysis and payload extraction on real phishing samples from PhishTank. Identified threat actor TTPs, spoofed sender domains, and malicious attachment indicators of compromise (IoCs).
Researched and produced a structured threat intelligence report on the Lazarus Group APT. Documented TTPs, IoCs, victimology, and defensive recommendations following the MITRE ATT&CK and STIX/TAXII frameworks.
Developing a custom detection rule library for Splunk targeting common adversary behaviors. Rules are aligned with MITRE ATT&CK and tested against Atomic Red Team simulations in a dedicated home lab environment.
Investigation reports, CTF writeups, and cybersecurity research notes.
Detailed notes and key takeaways from completing the TryHackMe SOC Level 1 learning path, covering log analysis, network traffic analysis, and incident response fundamentals.
