BTech CSE Student Specializing in Cybersecurity & Networking

To practice cybersecurity concepts safely, I have set up a personal virtualization lab using VirtualBox and Kali Linux. I deploy vulnerable machines like Metasploitable 2 and OWASP Juice Shop to simulate real attack scenarios. This environment allows me to experiment with tools like Nmap and Burp Suite without risking live networks, bridging the gap between theory and practical application.

I actively participate in Capture The Flag (CTF) events and hackathons like the Smart India Hackathon (SIH) to test my skills under pressure. I supplement this with hands-on learning on platforms like TryHackMe, where I complete labs on OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and web exploitation. This continuous practice helps me stay updated on new threats and refine my problem-solving abilities.

Python is my go-to language for problem-solving and automating repetitive tasks, allowing me to better understand how systems work “under the hood.” I build custom security tools using clean, efficient code, including a vulnerability scanner integrated with the OWASP ZAP API and a real-time DDoS detection tool that monitors network traffic to identify and block brute-force attempts.
