PROJECT 01 // SECURITY & CTF
github.com/LKenzo/Cybersecurity-Journey
Stack: Python / Markdown · Repository: LKenzo/Cybersecurity-Journey

Cybersecurity Journey

Personal cybersecurity knowledge base documenting CTF challenge walkthroughs across forensics, reverse engineering, and side-channel attacks, alongside FCF certification notes.

  • c0rrupt challenge writeup: repaired corrupted PNG by analyzing byte streams and recalculating CRC checksums.
  • verify challenge writeup: verified file integrity through SHA-256 hash checksums.
  • SideChannel challenge writeup: 8-digit PIN brute-force exploit using a timing side-channel attack on an ELF binary.

Stack: Android Security / OWASP MASTG · Document: Pentest-Project-Summary.pdf

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Five-student course project assessing an Android app with OWASP MASTG: static and dynamic analysis, with findings scored in CVSS 4.0.

  • Tools: JADX, MobSF, Frida, Burp Suite, ADB.
  • Findings: exposed API key, client-side control bypass, device-block bypass.
  • Fixes: server-side validation, restricted keys, device attestation.

Social Media Project

Full-stack social media prototype developed as the Take-Home Case for Lab Assistant training (26-1) with JWT authentication, debounced Levenshtein search, and multimedia handling.

  • Frontend developed with React; backend powered by NestJS and Prisma ORM.
  • JWT-based user authentication and session management.
  • Levenshtein distance algorithm for fuzzy user search with frontend debouncing.
  • Multer integration for image/video upload pipelines and dynamic user profiles.

Stack: Python · Repository: LKenzo/Mx-Security-Tools

Mx-Security-Tools

Multithreaded command-line TCP port scanner written in Python that takes a target IP address and port range configuration via argparse, featuring a local mock server for port testing.

  • Up to 50 worker threads using ThreadPoolExecutor for concurrent port checks.
  • 0.5-second socket connection timeout (socket.settimeout(0.5)).
  • Single port scanning via -p or inclusive port range scanning via -r.
  • Includes port_testing.py local mock socket server for scanner verification.
NOTICE: For authorized security testing and educational environments only.
