@ismailhabil
I build SOC-ready cybersecurity skills through threat analysis, enterprise labs, and security education.
What I'm looking for
I've built practical cybersecurity experience through Gaza Sky Geeks, IT Gate Academy, and Hackers Academy, from simulated APT investigations to SOC-focused educational content.
At Gaza Sky Geeks, I analyzed lateral movement, credential attacks, privilege escalation, and post-exploitation activity across Windows 11 and Kali Linux, mapping attacker TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK and the Cyber Kill Chain. I also investigated endpoint-evasion techniques involving Windows Defender, AMSI, and Tamper Protection.
I've configured enterprise network and Windows Server labs covering VLANs, OSPF, ACLs, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, DHCP, and Windows deployment. I create clear cybersecurity learning materials while continuing to develop my threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and incident-response capabilities.
