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.
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.
Python Journey
Structured daily progression building programming and scripting foundations for cybersecurity and CTF tasks, including automated brute-force simulations, error handling, and test suites.
- Mini brute-force simulation script and conditional logic testing.
- Script testing workflows using pytest.
- Security mini-projects: URL sanitizer and file-signature verifier.
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.
