Dynamic Malware Researcher skilled in cyber threat mitigation.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and results-oriented Malware Researcher with extensive experience in identifying and mitigating cyber threats. My expertise lies in command and control detection, malware analysis, and developing innovative intrusion detection techniques. I am eager to leverage my skills in malware research and threat analysis to contribute to a dynamic cybersecurity team.
Currently, I work at Ebryx (Pvt.) Ltd. as a Malware Researcher, where I actively identify Command and Control (C2) infrastructures associated with top malware families. My role involves conducting deep packet inspection of malware traffic, hunting for emerging threats, and developing Snort rules to enhance threat intelligence. I have led campaign hunting initiatives targeting trending malware families and contributed to Network Detection and Response (NDR) projects aimed at improving our cybersecurity posture.
In addition to my technical skills, I have developed Python scripts for extracting Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and have analyzed Android malware to bolster defenses against mobile threats. My commitment to quality is reflected in my peer reviews of team Snort rules, ensuring our detection mechanisms are effective and reliable.
