🛠️ Projects

Basic Network Scan with Nmap

A simulated internal network scan. Click to see details.

Objective: To identify active hosts, open ports, and running services on a simulated internal network.

Tools Used: Nmap

Process: Conducted a TCP SYN scan (-sS) to stealthily check for open ports. Used service version detection (-sV) to fingerprint services and OS detection (-O) to identify the operating systems of the target machines. The findings were documented for a mock vulnerability assessment report.

Phishing Email Analysis

A deep dive into a malicious email. Click to see details.

Objective: To dissect a phishing email to understand its attack vector and identify indicators of compromise (IOCs).

Tools Used: Email client, VirusTotal, DNS lookup tools.

Process: Analyzed email headers to trace the origin and path. Scrutinized the email body for deceptive language and suspicious links. The attached payload was safely detonated in a sandbox environment, and its hash was checked against threat intelligence databases. Key findings included spoofed sender addresses and a malicious macro in the attachment.
