Defensive Practice & Laboratory Domains

🔍

Vulnerability Assessment & Auditing

Academic laboratory analysis using network scanning techniques to identify unpatched services, open ports, misconfigured authentication controls, and outdated web server packages in isolated sandboxes.

Kali Linux Nmap Metasploit Vulnerability Assessment
Scope: Academic Laboratory Practice
🛡️

Network Defence & Intrusion Detection

Configuring Snort intrusion detection rules to flag anomalous network traffic, malicious payload signatures, and suspicious packet headers in educational laboratory networks.
