@hariskhan11
I test networks and web applications, identify vulnerabilities, and build secure enterprise network architectures.
What I'm looking for
I'm building hands-on cybersecurity experience through TryHackMe offensive-security labs and Cisco Networking Academy research, testing networks and web applications for vulnerabilities.
In CTF labs, I've practised enumeration with Nmap, web testing with Burp Suite, exploitation with Metasploit, brute-force testing with Hydra, and directory discovery with Gobuster across Linux and Windows environments. I've also completed SOC Level 1 training focused on SIEM triage, log correlation, traffic analysis, and incident response workflows.
For my final-year project at the Agriculture University of Peshawar, I designed a three-tier campus network architecture with five VLANs, OSPF routing, Cisco ASA firewall controls, a DMZ, NAT, ACLs, and redundant distribution links. The design achieved 95–100% success across 10 security and connectivity test scenarios.
I'm completing a BSc in Computer Science with a focus on cybersecurity, networking, and secure computing, supported by Google and Cisco cybersecurity certifications.
