Projects

File Integrity Checker (Python)

Developed a terminal and GUI-based file integrity checker to detect unauthorized changes to files.

Enhanced usability with colored terminal output, Tkinter interface, and real-time monitoring via the Watchdog library.

Packaged solution into a Windows `.exe` format for ease of deployment.

Designed for presentation and submission via VLE.

Suspicious Link Explainer (Browser Extension)

Built a phishing detection browser plugin that scans and compares link text with actual URLs to flag deception.

Utilized JavaScript for frontend detection and considered backend enhancements with Python + VirusTotal API.

Developed a simplified and efficient version within tight deadlines (4 hours), showcasing time-bound delivery skills.

Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign (Ghana)

Designed and executed a cybersecurity awareness campaign tailored to Ghana’s digital environment.

Created promotional content including videos, posters, and a website for educating users.

Leveraged LinkedIn and institutional VLE platforms for dissemination.

WordPress Website Rebuild – Reconstructed a web project from scratch using XAMPP after data loss, improving design, security, and functionality

LDAP/Kerberos Directory Services (VMware Lab)

Simulated a secure network setup with a Windows XP client and CentOS 7 server on VMware.

Implemented authentication via Kerberos and directory services via LDAP.

Integrated pfSense for secure routing in GNS3 environment.

Static & Dynamic Malware Analysis (Lab)

Conducted static malware analysis using tools such as PEiD, strings, and IDA Free to inspect binary structure, identify suspicious imports, and extract indicators of compromise (IOCs).

Performed dynamic analysis in an isolated sandbox environment, monitoring file system changes, registry modifications, and network activity of malware samples using Process Monitor and Wireshark.

Documented behavioural reports detailing malware persistence mechanisms, C2 communication patterns, and recommended detection signatures.

Privilege Escalation Techniques (CTF / Lab)

Researched and demonstrated both Windows and Linux privilege escalation vectors including misconfigured SUID binaries, weak service permissions, unquoted service paths, and kernel exploits.

Used tools such as LinPEAS, WinPEAS, and PowerUp to enumerate local vulnerabilities and escalate from low-privileged user to root/SYSTEM in controlled lab environments.

Documented exploitation steps and proposed hardening countermeasures for each attack vector identified.

Mobile Security Assessment (Android)

Performed mobile application security testing on Android APKs using MobSF (Mobile Security Framework) and Jadx for static code review and decompilation.

Identified security flaws including insecure data storage, improper permissions, hardcoded credentials, and vulnerable third-party libraries.

Tested runtime behaviour using an Android emulator to intercept traffic via Burp Suite and assess SSL pinning implementations.

Wireless Network Security Analysis

Analysed wireless network vulnerabilities including WEP/WPA2 weaknesses, evil twin attacks, and deauthentication flood attacks using Aircrack-ng and Kali Linux in a lab environment.

Captured and analysed 802.11 handshakes to demonstrate password cracking risks against weak passphrases, highlighting the importance of strong WPA2/WPA3 configurations.

Proposed wireless security best practices including MAC filtering, SSID management, RADIUS authentication, and network segmentation.
