What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry role in cybersecurity where I can run VAPT and application security testing, translate vulnerabilities into clear risk and remediation, and grow in cloud and host-based defense using tools like Burp Suite, Kali, and Metasploit.

I’m a Computer Science & Engineering student and a cybersecurity enthusiast focused on Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), web and network security testing, and digital forensics. I like turning reconnaissance into clear findings that help strengthen real defenses.

In my OWASP Juice Hack project, I performed end-to-end VAPT on the OWASP Juice Shop using Kali Linux and Burp Suite, identifying and exploiting 12+ vulnerabilities across 50+ endpoints. I successfully exploited a critical SQL Injection to achieve full authentication bypass and uncovered a high-severity CSRF flaw.

For the Anti-Keylogger Detection System, I designed detection logic in Python using OS-level APIs (Windows/Linux hooks), achieving 95%+ detection accuracy across 20+ simulated scenarios. I integrated WebSockets for live dashboard notifications (up to 1,000 concurrent events) and optimized performance with multithreaded processing to reduce detection latency by 60–70% while handling 10,000+ keystrokes per minute.

In my EternalBlue Strike work, I leveraged Metasploit to exploit MS17-010 (EternalBlue) and achieved remote SYSTEM-level access in a controlled Windows lab. I also documented findings in professional VAPT reports with CVSS-based risk analysis and prioritized remediation recommendations.
