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: 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.
