Projects

Explore my cybersecurity projects showcasing skills and knowledge.

This project demonstrates the setup of a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system using Azure Sentinel service that monitors Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) events. The goal was to log successful RDP logins and analyze them using KQL (Kusto Query Language) Queries.

SIEMSIEM

The goal of this project is to create a controlled environment for ethical hacking and penetration testing practice. By following this documentation, users can set up their own home lab to practice identifying, exploiting, and mitigating real-world vulnerabilities.

Security Measures of Textual Data                                                                                      June 23, 2023

International Journal of Innovative Research in Information Security (IJIRIS)

As the volume and importance of textual data in data science continue to grow, combined with advancements in data science techniques, it has created numerous opportunities for extracting valuable insights from textual information. However, privacy and the security of private data are issues that are brought up by the analysis of text data. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of security measures specifically designed for protecting textual data in data science applications.

High Availability and Fault Tolerance                                                                                 June 23, 2023

International Journal of Innovative Research in Information Security (IJIRIS)

With the increasing adoption of cloud computing, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance has become paramount for organizations. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a robust infrastructure for hosting applications, but fault tolerance. This research paper explores two innovative concepts, namely Cloud Fractal and Decentralized Replication and Orchestration, and their application in achieving high availability and fault tolerance in AWS.
