Cybersecurity enthusiast · Aspiring SOC Analyst status: active

Third-year CS student building a defensive-security skillset from the ground up — homelab first, certifications alongside, and tools I actually needed to write myself.

Ritesh

I'm a third-year B.Sc. Computer Science student at Pillai College of Arts, Commerce and Science, working toward internship roles in security operations — SOC Analyst, Security Analyst, and Information Security Intern tracks.

Most of what's on this page came out of a home lab I run on Kali Linux, segmented off onto its own isolated network so I can attack and defend without worrying about the rest of my setup. I'd rather ship something small and working — a scanner, a detector, a documented pentest walkthrough — than list a skill I can't back up in an interview.

Vulnerability Monitor CLI TOOL

A Python security scanner that sweeps open ports, grabs service banners over raw sockets, and cross-references what it finds against the NVD API for CVEs — complete with CVSS scoring, colorized terminal output, and JSON export for reporting.

Cybersecurity Home Lab INFRASTRUCTURE

A fully isolated attack/defense range built from scratch — a host-only virtual network carrying a reconfigured Windows target and Dockerized vulnerable apps (Juice Shop, DVWA). Also where I ran my first real WPA2 handshake capture with the aircrack-ng suite, deauth phase and all.

SIEM Home Lab MONITORING

A self-hosted log aggregation and alerting setup built on top of the home lab network, for watching traffic and events across the isolated hosts in near real time.

DoS & DDoS Attack Detector DETECTION

A traffic-analysis tool for spotting denial-of-service patterns on the lab network as they happen, built alongside the SIEM setup for correlated alerting.
