EXPERIENCE
Project I: Ransomware: (Splunk vs. Security Onion as IDPS for Performance Indicator) Current – 11/2022
• Using VMware ESXi as a hypervisor for building a network infrastructure that would play host to our lab machines.
• VM Machines would include Firewalls (pfSense), Windows OS (target VM), Kali Linux (attacking VM) for performing reconnaissance, and Security Onion vs. Splunk VM as our SIEMs for analyzing network traffic, using signature and anomaly-based IDSes.
• Initiated a ransomware simulator attack with typical ransomware behavior. Such as staging from a Word document macro, designed for deleting volume shadow copies, encrypting documents (embedded and dropped by the simulator into a new folder), and dropping ransomware notes to the victims.
• Analyzed recent Ransomware Packet Captures (PCAPs) data and compared network security monitoring and prevention system (IDPs) for best performance. Project II: Preventative Measures for Mitigating Injection Attacks (Web Application) 01/2022 – 04/2022
• Implemented a basic registration/login page using Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) illustrated a real-life scenario of how an attacker can utilize a web application vulnerability to access a web server.
• Showed how arbitrary inputs from a user input field can act as an instruction, which could cause major damage to the web server.
• Performed an attack (SQLi) using BurpSuite and Nessus to scan for available vulnerabilities in the Web Application.
• Made proper adjustments to fix the errors by saving passwords using a modern crypto-hashing algorithm and using prepared statements to validate, sanitize, and filter user-supplied data. Project III: Research on Safeguarding Smart Homes using Digital Security Digital Forensics 01/2022 – 07/2022
• Worked on a team to implement, analyze, document, and report findings.
• Install VMware Workstation Pro as a hypervisor for implementing and installing Virtual Machines such as Kali Linux and Windows OS.
• Used forensic tools such as The Sleuth Kit (TSK), Autopsy, and FTK Imager to analyze digital artifacts.
Project IV: Detecting Network Anomalies using Security Onion 08/2021 – 11/2021
• Built a fully functional security lab for implementation. The lab consists of Kali Linux, IDS (Security Onion), Kali Linux, Windows OS, and pfSense.
• Performed some attacks using Kali Linux in other to generate logs.
• Captured logs using Security Onion and did an analysis using Wireshark.
• Assigned rules on Snort & Suricata as IPS to restrict network access by an authorized user.
• Composed reports outlining findings and proposed ways to mitigate anomalies in the network layer
