CSE graduate with hands-on experience in SOC Operations, Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing, Threat Detection, and Incident Response. Built a home SOC lab with Wazuh SIEM, conducted DVWA vulnerability assessments with Burp Suite, and ranked 18th at DEF CON Coimbatore 2026 CTF.
I'm a Computer Science Engineering graduate specializing in cybersecurity. My core domains include SOC Operations, Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing, Threat Detection & Incident Response, and Network Security.
Currently interning at Redteam Hacker Academy, Chennai through the CICSA program — executing structured SOC operations, identifying OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities with Burp Suite and Nmap, applying MITRE ATT&CK framework, and building SIEM proficiency with Wazuh and Splunk.
Ranked 18th out of 100+ teams at DEF CON Coimbatore 2026 CTF, solving challenges across web exploitation, OSINT, cryptography, and network forensics. Pursuing CEH v13 and CICSA certifications.
Deployed and configured Wazuh SIEM on VirtualBox/Ubuntu, setting up agent-based monitoring to simulate a real-world SOC environment. Generated and investigated real security events including authentication failures, unauthorized access attempts, and system-level alerts. Practiced structured incident investigation and produced SOC-style investigation reports.
Conducted a comprehensive vulnerability assessment on DVWA using Burp Suite, identifying and exploiting OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities including SQL Injection, XSS, Command Injection, and Broken Authentication. Documented all findings in a structured VAPT report covering severity ratings, business impact, and remediation recommendations.
Captured and analyzed live network traffic using Wireshark across TCP, DNS, HTTP, and ICMP protocols. Examined TCP three-way handshakes, DNS query/response flows, and HTTP cycles. Identified abnormal traffic patterns and anomalies through packet-level analysis, applying network forensics techniques to distinguish legitimate from suspicious behavior.
Competed in DEF CON Coimbatore 2026 CTF, ranking 18th out of 100+ teams. Solved multi-domain challenges spanning web security exploitation, OSINT intelligence gathering, cryptography, network traffic analysis, and security investigation. Also attended expert-led sessions on ethical hacking, threat intelligence, and SOC operations best practices.
Continuously sharpening offensive and defensive cybersecurity skills through structured challenge rooms and real-world scenario simulations on TryHackMe. Completed foundational and intermediate cybersecurity labs covering SOC operations, network security, web application security, and more.
Open to SOC Analyst, Cybersecurity Analyst, VAPT, and Information Security roles. Fresher with hands-on lab experience, CEH v13 in progress, and a competitive CTF track record. Let's build resilient systems together.
