About Me

I am a passionate Cybersecurity Engineer specializing in Offensive Security, Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), and Red Team simulations. Currently pursuing M.Sc Computer Science at Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, I focus on building real-world cybersecurity tools to detect and prevent attacks. I developed an AI-based Endpoint Detection & Response system capable of detecting malicious processes and automatically responding to threats. Ranked in Top 8% globally on TryHackMe, I continuously practice web exploitation, privilege escalation, and real-world attack simulations. My mission is to become a world-class cybersecurity engineer and build next-generation threat detection systems.

Cybersecurity Projects

🥇 AI-Based Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) System

Architected and developed an advanced Endpoint Detection & Response system capable of monitoring endpoint activity, identifying malicious processes, and simulating automated incident response. This project replicates core functionality of enterprise EDR solutions such as Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and CrowdStrike Falcon, providing hands-on experience in threat detection engineering and defensive security.

Built real-time process monitoring engine using Python
Detects suspicious and malicious behaviour based on indicators
Simulates automated threat response and mitigation
Implements core concepts of SOC-level endpoint protection
Demonstrates enterprise-grade detection engineering workflow

🥈 CyberSentinel – Real-Time Threat Detection & Security Monitoring Platform

Designed and implemented a real-time threat detection platform to monitor attacker activity, analyse behaviour, and provide visibility into security events. CyberSentinel simulates a Security Operations Center (SOC) monitoring environment, helping understand attack patterns, threat intelligence, and incident analysis.

Real-time monitoring of attacker interactions
Session tracking and behavioural analysis
Threat intelligence data collection and logging
Security event visualization and monitoring dashboard
Demonstrates practical SOC analyst and detection engineering skills

🥉 ESP8266 Evil Twin Wi-Fi Attack Simulation Lab

Developed a wireless attack simulation lab using ESP8266 microcontroller to demonstrate Evil Twin attacks and credential harvesting techniques. This project highlights wireless network vulnerabilities and demonstrates how attackers exploit user trust to capture sensitive credentials.

Configured ESP8266 as rogue Wi-Fi access point
Simulated credential capture using captive portal
Demonstrates wireless phishing attack methodology
Used for cybersecurity awareness and training
Provides practical understanding of Wi-Fi security threats

🏅 Digispark USB HID Attack Simulation

Implemented a USB-based attack simulation using Digispark ATTiny85 to demonstrate keystroke injection and physical access exploitation. This project illustrates real-world risks posed by malicious USB devices and highlights importance of endpoint protection and physical security.

Configured Digispark as malicious Human Interface Device
Simulated automated keystroke injection attacks
Demonstrated physical attack vectors
Helps understand endpoint security risks
Used for ethical hacking education and awareness

🏅 Educational Keylogger & Endpoint Monitoring Tool

Developed an educational keylogger tool to demonstrate how attackers monitor user activity and how endpoint monitoring systems detect such threats. This project enhanced understanding of endpoint surveillance, behavioural monitoring, and threat detection techniques.

Captures and logs keystroke activity securely
Demonstrates endpoint monitoring concepts
Helps understand insider and malware threats
Supports defensive security learning
Built using Python and JavaScript

🏅 RedTeamX – Advanced Red Team Simulation Framework

Engineered a Red Team simulation framework to replicate real-world attack scenarios for cybersecurity training and research. This project demonstrates offensive security methodology, attacker lifecycle, and adversary simulation.
