Khalid Nganga

I am an independent security researcher and aspiring cyber security professional with hands-on experience in penetration testing, detection engineering, and incident response. I have completed numerous TryHackMe rooms and volunteer as a web penetration tester on HackerOne, honing practical offensive and defensive skills.

My work includes conducting full-spectrum assessments using tools such as Nmap, Subfinder, Burp Suite, and Netcat, and integrating security monitoring with platforms like Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk to automate incident response. I have implemented encryption standards (AES-256, RSA) and performed database audits using SQL to identify unauthorized access patterns.

I leverage Python and Bash to automate security processes and forensics tasks, improving efficiency and reducing manual effort. I have experience with malware analysis tools (PEstudio, Regshot, Volatility) and platforms including GCP, Oracle Flexcube, and various Linux distributions.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and relevant certifications, and I focus on continuous learning to reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen detection and response capabilities for organizations.
