Building a Home SOC Lab: From Zero to Detection
A practical, step-by-step guide to setting up your own Security Operations Center at home — including Splunk, log ingestion, and your first real alert.
Read Article →Defending, breaking, and understanding systems. I operate across all three domains — detection & defense, offensive testing, and bridging the gap between them.
I'm a cybersecurity professional who operates across the full spectrum — from defending infrastructure to simulating real-world attacks. My mindset is simple: understand the attacker to defeat them.
With a foundation built on continuous learning, hands-on labs, and real-world application, I bring both the technical depth and strategic thinking that modern cybersecurity demands.
I believe in knowledge sharing — which is why I write articles breaking down complex security topics into practical, digestible insights.
Detection, defense, monitoring, and incident response. Keeping systems safe.
Offensive security, penetration testing, vulnerability exploitation.
Bridging offense and defense. Threat hunting and intelligence-driven testing.
Built a fully functional Security Operations Center home lab using Splunk, Elastic Stack, and simulated attack scenarios with Kali Linux.
