Achievements: ICCR Scholar
Coursework: Minor degree in Cyber Forensics and Cyber Laws
Analyzed network traffic with Wireshark and performed vulnerability assessments using Python scripts and Nessus, uncovering several security gaps.
Assisted with firewall and IDS/IPS configuration.
Supported incident response and security documentation.
Secured Linux systems by configuring firewalls, hardening services, and performing network enumeration with Bash scripts, which reduced the potential attack surface.
Used Nmap, Netcat, and Wireshark to scan networks, test firewalls, and analyze traffic, uncovering misconfigurations and improving overall network visibility.
Gained experience in encryption, decryption, privilege escalation. Conducted basic penetration testing, threat hunting, malware analysis, and digital forensics.
Developed three C++ projects that applied object-oriented design, using the Standard Template Library and Git for version control, which helped the team demonstrate core programming concepts and improve code reuse.
Taught Advanced and Academic Writing and created custom lesson plans using targeted writing exercises and peer-review activities, which helped students improve their writing proficiency and confidence.
Designed and led exam-preparation sessions, providing practice tests and targeted feedback, which increased student confidence and contributed to higher exam pass rates.
Developed a security assessment platform to evaluate AI chatbots' resistance to prompt manipulation attacks by testing Meta AI, Grok AI, and Sutra AI, with Gemini used for automated response evaluation based on predefined security rules.
Developed a CNN-based deepfake detection model to classify manipulated and authentic images using machine learning techniques.
Simulated USB Rubber Ducky attacks in a controlled environment to analyze keystroke injection techniques and evaluate endpoint security defenses.
Developed a secure code analysis platform that detects common software vulnerabilities and promotes secure coding practices through automated code analysis.
Designed and configured a VLAN-based network to improve security, traffic segmentation, and communication across multiple departments.
