Olamide Shennuga
@olamideshennuga
Entry-level cybersecurity analyst building Python security tools and investigating network traffic, authentication logs, and web vulnerabilities.
What I'm looking for
Through hands-on cybersecurity projects, I developed a Python packet-sniffing script, captured network traffic to a PCAP file, and analysed TCP, UDP, and ARP activity in Wireshark.
I also used Python to investigate authentication logs for repeated failed logins and suspicious source IPs, and used Burp Suite to assess SQL Injection and access-control weaknesses in simulated web applications. In a secure login project, I used parameterized SQL queries with Python and SQLite to reduce SQL Injection risks.
