What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level penetration testing or security assessment role.

At Air University Multan, I built an authorized Kali Linux testing lab with Metasploitable and used Nmap and Nessus to identify vulnerabilities. I assessed the findings and prepared remediation reports.

In my semester projects, I configured Snort IDS to monitor suspicious traffic and analyzed packets with Wireshark. I also built a threat intelligence dashboard using STIX/TAXII feeds, integrated MISP for indicator management, and automated feed parsing with Python.
