Featured Projects
Wi-Fi Penetration Testing and Security Assessment
Performed comprehensive Wi-Fi network penetration testing using Kali Linux tools including Aircrack-ng, Airmon-ng, Airodump-ng, and Aireplay-ng. Successfully identified multiple WPA2 vulnerabilities including weak pre-shared keys and WPS weaknesses.
Developed detailed remediation strategies that increased network security by 70% when implemented. Created educational materials to improve client security awareness.
Security Automation Framework
Developed a comprehensive Bash script framework that automates security scanning processes across web applications and infrastructure. The tool integrates multiple security scanners including OpenVAS, Nikto, and SQLmap into a unified workflow.
This automation reduced manual testing time by 65% while increasing vulnerability detection rates by 40%. The framework includes customizable scan configurations, comprehensive reporting, and integration with ticketing systems.
Social Engineering Awareness Campaign
Designed and implemented a comprehensive social engineering assessment program focused on phone-based phishing attacks. Created realistic scenarios targeting different departments to evaluate organizational security awareness.
Initial tests revealed a 47% susceptibility rate to phone phishing attacks. Developed targeted training materials based on findings, which reduced successful attacks by 76% in follow-up assessments. Implemented ongoing monitoring and quarterly simulations.
Network Infrastructure Mapping
Developed a comprehensive methodology for enterprise network discovery and service enumeration using advanced Nmap techniques. Created custom NSE scripts to identify specific vulnerabilities in enterprise environments.
Successfully mapped a complex network with over 500 endpoints, identifying 23 critical vulnerabilities and 47 misconfigurations. Developed an interactive visualization dashboard that reduced incident response time by 35%.
Enterprise Vulnerability Management
Designed and implemented a comprehensive vulnerability management framework integrating multiple scanning tools including OpenVAS, Qualys, and custom scripts. Created a custom risk scoring model based on CVSS that prioritizes vulnerabilities based on business impact.
Reduced the average vulnerability remediation time from 45 days to 12 days by implementing an effective prioritization framework. Created automated weekly reports with remediation progress tracking, reducing critical vulnerability exposure by 67%.
