Who I Am

I'm a final-year Computer Engineering student from Pune, India, with a focused interest in cybersecurity — specifically in Blue Team operations, SOC analysis, and threat detection engineering.

Over the past year, I've moved beyond textbooks: I've built a full-stack Host-Based Intrusion Detection System in Rust and Python, deployed a Wazuh SIEM home lab, and developed a Python honeypot to study real attacker behavior. Each project taught me how defenders think — and what attackers exploit.

I'm an active learner on TryHackMe, having completed labs in web exploitation, privilege escalation, and blue team fundamentals. I believe in learning by doing — not just reading theory.

Currently preparing for the ISC2 CC certification and seeking an entry-level role where I can contribute to a real SOC or security engineering team.

What I've Built

01 Featured

Host-Based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)

A full-stack intrusion detection system built from scratch. The Rust agent monitors file integrity, detects brute-force attempts, and flags suspicious processes in real-time using Linux inotify — achieving sub-1-second detection latency. A Sigma-based detection engine maps threats to MITRE ATT&CK tactics, and a WebSocket dashboard provides live alert triage.

Real-time inotify monitoring: latency reduced from 30s → <1s
17 Sigma rules mapped to 8 MITRE ATT&CK tactics
80% detection rate across 10 simulated attack scenarios
Multi-host monitoring via centralized server

Wazuh SIEM Home Lab

Built a full SIEM environment using Wazuh on Linux to simulate real SOC workflows. Configured agents across multiple endpoints to collect and forward system logs, monitor file integrity, and track authentication events — all centralized in a single dashboard for proactive threat hunting.

Configured log collection, alert correlation, and vulnerability detection
Monitored FIM, auth events, and system modifications across endpoints
Hands-on experience with SIEM dashboards, alert tuning, and threat analysis

Python-Based Honeypot System

A lightweight honeypot that simulates SSH, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS services to attract and analyze attacker behavior. Uses Python's multithreading to handle concurrent connections, capturing attacker IPs, request patterns, and intrusion signatures for threat intelligence analysis.

Simulates 4 common services to capture real attacker interactions
Logs structured threat data in JSON/CSV for analysis
Concurrent port monitoring via multithreading
