@syedtaifahmed
Cybersecurity Analyst at Skillogic who investigated Windows security events and documented findings in a Wazuh SOC lab.
What I'm looking for
At Skillogic, I used Wazuh SIEM to monitor Windows security events, investigate alerts, and analyze authentication-related activity. I documented my investigation steps and findings in structured technical reports.
I built and documented a Wazuh SIEM home lab with a Windows endpoint, where I investigated failed login events and analyzed security activity. I also completed vulnerability assessment and security testing exercises using Nmap, Nessus, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Wireshark, and Metasploit.
On my MAC address security project, I studied MAC spoofing and network access controls in a controlled lab, then used Wazuh and network traffic analysis to document security findings. I also developed a Python Flask email phishing analyzer and a Python password strength checker.
