Projects And Experience
Home Security & Penetration Lab Testing
Goal: Build a home lab to simulate real-world cybersecurity scenarios, host services locally and securely to experiment with penetration testing techniques
– Designed and implemented a secure Fedora-based home server configured with reverse SSH tunneling via an Oracle Cloud VPS for remote access
– Conducted vulnerability assessments using Kali Linux on a Ventoy removable drive, leveraging Nmap, OpenVAS, and Metasploit for portable penetration testing
– Built a custom WiFi Pineapple using an OpenWRT-compatible router to test wireless network vulnerabilities, rogue access point attacks, and WiFi security protocols
– Leveraged ESP32 with Flipper Zero for WiFi-based phishing attacks and Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack simulations to learn about unauthorized network access methods and wireless exploitation techniques
