I've built hands-on Security Operations Center labs using Wazuh, pfSense, and Snort, simulating brute-force, flooding, and port-scanning attacks to validate detection workflows.

In my SOC lab, Wazuh logged 2,427 security events and 1,253 authentication failures during brute-force testing, while Snort detected more than 3.4 million flood packets using custom rules. I've also deployed Cowrie and custom web honeypots, integrated their logs with Wazuh, and created SOC dashboards for MITRE ATT&CK visualization.

During my IT internship at Pakistan Television Corporation, I gained exposure to enterprise network troubleshooting, systems support, infrastructure workflows, documentation, and operational processes.

I'm pursuing a BS in Cybersecurity and developing practical application security skills through SAST, SCA, and DAST assessments. I've used Bandit, Semgrep, pip-audit, Safety, OWASP ZAP, and Wapiti to identify and remediate vulnerabilities including SQL injection, command injection, insecure deserialization, and missing HTTP security headers.
