I am a cybersecurity student focused on ethical hacking and penetration testing, with hands-on experience in web application security, network security, reconnaissance, and vulnerability assessment.
I actively practice in legal, controlled lab environments and document my work using professional penetration testing standards.

My repositories emphasize clear documentation and reporting, not just exploitation.
Each security project typically includes:
✔ Defined objective & scope
✔ Structured methodology
✔ Findings with proof of concept
✔ Risk assessment
✔ Mitigation & remediation recommendations
Highlighted work includes:
- Web application vulnerability assessments (DVWA)
- Network service exploitation (FTP, SSH)
- Analysis of real-world vulnerabilities (e.g., CVE-2011-2523 – vsftpd backdoor)
- Reconnaissance and OSINT-driven attack surface mapping
- Build a strong, well-documented ethical hacking portfolio
- Improve manual exploitation and enumeration skills
- Strengthen social engineering detection & defense understanding
- Produce reports that reflect real penetration testing engagements
- Grow a professional online presence (GitHub, LinkedIn, X)
All activities documented in this profile are performed strictly in legal lab environments for educational and research purposes only.
