Security & DFIR
Ethical Penetration Testing Lab & Security Assessment Suite
Structured security testing manual and toolset for finding network weaknesses, protecting online privacy, and auditing Wi-Fi security ethically with four published audit reports.
System Implementation & Approach
Kali Linux and Windows 11 security lab organized by PTES and Cyber Kill Chain phases: OSINT DNS footprinting, Tor and Proxychains OPSEC hardening, full 65535 TCP/UDP Nmap scanning, Hydra brute-force error analysis, and WPA2-PSK 4-way handshake auditing with four published technical reports.
Role & Contribution
Individual author: documented 30+ step-by-step OPSEC verification proofs, conducted subdomain reconnaissance, executed full port audits and brute-force simulations, and authored four comprehensive penetration testing reports.
Key Implementation Highlights
- Organized isolated lab assessments strictly along PTES stages inside authorized local test environments.
- Validated traffic anonymization routes with Tor, Snowflake, and Proxychains verification checks before reconnaissance runs.
- Conducted full 65535 port scans to expose blindspots of standard top-1000 scans on exposed database services.
- Simulated Hydra brute-force credential attacks to verify MySQL host-based access control behavior.
- Authored four comprehensive audit reports in PDF format covering OSINT, OPSEC, scanning, and wireless pentesting.
Verification & Outcomes
- 30+ reproducible OPSEC verification proofs recorded with 100% Tor bootstrap and DNS leak prevention.
- 65535 TCP ports scanned in 87.1s, identifying 3 open ports (3306, 33060, 62497) and 65532 filtered ports.
- Verified SMB port 445 filtered by host firewall, preventing lateral movement exploits like EternalBlue.
- Hydra attack captured MySQL Error 1130 (Host is not allowed to connect), proving effective host isolation.
- Captured full WPA2 4-way handshake via deauthentication frame injection and verified PSK password recovery.
- All four modular audit reports compiled to PDF and archived in the official repository.
