What I can
do for you

From penetration testing and VAPT engagements to full-stack web development — every service is delivered manually, methodically, and with a clear written output you can act on.

01

Service 01

Penetration
Testing

Full-cycle web application and network penetration testing — from recon and enumeration through exploitation to post-exploitation and lateral movement. Every engagement is 100% manual, not a scan-and-report. I follow structured methodology (OWASP, PTES) and deliver clear risk-rated findings that your team can actually remediate.

What's Included

Scoping session to define targets, rules of engagement, and out-of-scope assets
Passive and active reconnaissance — OSINT, subdomain enum, port scanning
Manual vulnerability identification across OWASP Top 10 and beyond
Exploitation with proof-of-concept evidence for every confirmed finding
Post-exploitation — privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence checks
CVSS-scored report for both technical teams and executive audience
Free re-test of all critical and high findings after remediation

Methodology

01
Reconnaissance
OSINT gathering, subdomain enumeration, technology fingerprinting, attack surface mapping.
02
Scanning & Enumeration
Port scanning, service detection, vulnerability scanning, manual web crawling.
03
Exploitation
Manual exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities with PoC capture — no false positives.
04
Post-Exploitation
Privilege escalation, persistence testing, lateral movement, data exfil simulation.
05
Reporting & Re-test
Risk-rated findings, remediation roadmap, executive summary, and free re-test.

Vulnerability Assessment
& Penetration Testing

VAPT combines structured vulnerability discovery with hands-on exploitation — giving you both breadth (every vulnerability catalogued) and depth (confirmed, exploited, risk-contextualised findings). Ideal for compliance requirements, pre-launch audits, or board-level security sign-off.

What's Included

Automated vulnerability scanning (Nessus / OpenVAS) as a baseline, not the final word
Manual verification of every scanner finding — no false positive noise in your report
CVSS 3.1 scoring for all findings with business impact context
Executive summary suitable for board, audit committee, or compliance sign-off
Technical report with step-by-step remediation for each finding
Re-test certificate confirming critical issues are resolved

Tools Used

meets Exploitation.

VAPT is what you need when you want both the complete catalogue of vulnerabilities AND confirmed exploitation evidence — required for most compliance frameworks.

Web
Development

Full-stack web development in PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript — with security baked in from line one, not bolted on at the end. I build clean, performant, responsive applications: from portfolio sites and business landing pages to internal management systems and custom tools.

What's Included

Responsive front-end using Bootstrap or custom CSS — looks great on every device
PHP/MySQL back-end with parameterised queries, input validation, and session security
OWASP-aware development — SQLi, XSS, CSRF, IDOR protections built in
Admin panels, CRUD systems, and custom dashboards
Clean, commented code handed over with documentation
Optional post-delivery security review of the finished product

Recent Builds

Dreamway Education Website
Full corporate website with course listings, contact forms, and CMS-style admin panel.
Timex Inventory Management System
Internal PHP/MySQL IMS for tracking stock, purchase orders, and reporting — used daily in production.
Portfolio Website (this site)
Custom PHP portfolio with modular includes, dynamic page system, and zero external CMS dependency.

Built secure.
Shipped clean.

Most developers secure their code as an afterthought. Because I test applications for a living, security is part of the architecture from the first commit.

CTF & Security
Research

Active on HackTheBox and TryHackMe — working through machines and challenges across web exploitation, privilege escalation, binary exploitation, reverse engineering, cryptography, and digital forensics. I publish detailed writeups that document the methodology, not just the answer.

What I Cover

Web exploitation — SQLi, XSS, SSTI, SSRF, file upload bypass, auth flaws
Privilege escalation — Linux and Windows PrivEsc paths, SUID/SUDO abuse, misconfigs
Active Directory attacks — Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, BloodHound enumeration
Reverse engineering — static and dynamic analysis with Ghidra
Cryptography challenges — classical ciphers, RSA weaknesses, hash cracking
Digital forensics — PCAP analysis, steganography, memory forensics

CTF platforms are where offensive security skills are stress-tested outside of client engagements. Regular practice keeps techniques sharp and current.

Social
Engineering

The weakest link in most organisations isn't the firewall — it's the people behind it. Social engineering engagements simulate real-world human-layer attacks: phishing campaigns, pretexting scenarios, and OSINT-driven reconnaissance to expose exactly how much damage a well-crafted lure can do.

What's Included

OSINT target profiling — email formats, org structure, key personnel, public data exposure
Phishing campaign simulation — custom lure pages, email spoofing, click tracking
Pretexting scenario design and execution within agreed scope
Vishing script development and simulation planning
Awareness gap report — who clicked, what they gave up, how the attack succeeded
Remediation recommendations — training, process changes, technical controls

Tools

Maltego theHarvester Shodan GoPhish SET OSINT Framework
People are the
attack surface.

Technical controls stop technical attacks. Social engineering bypasses all of that. The only defence is knowing exactly how exposed your people are — before a real attacker finds out.

Network
Security

Network-layer attack simulation, traffic analysis, and firewall auditing — finding open ports, weak protocols, misconfigured services, and unpatched devices before an attacker does. Backed by hands-on enterprise network management experience across multiple large organisations.

What's Included

Full port scan and service enumeration across the target IP range
Firewall rule review and misconfiguration identification
Weak protocol detection — Telnet, FTP, SNMPv1, weak SSL/TLS, open RDP
Network traffic capture and analysis for suspicious patterns
Internal network segmentation review — flat network risk assessment
Remediation report with prioritised patching and config hardening steps

Tools

Security
Reporting

A security finding is only valuable if the right person understands it and acts on it. Every report I produce is written in two layers: a technical section with full PoC evidence and step-by-step remediation, and an executive summary that clearly communicates risk to non-technical decision makers — no jargon, no padding.

Report Structure

01
Executive Summary
Risk posture overview, critical finding summary, business impact assessment — readable by a board member in 5 minutes.
02
Findings Register
Every vulnerability catalogued with CVSS 3.1 score, severity rating, affected asset, and exploitability assessment.
03
Proof of Concept
Step-by-step reproduction instructions, screenshots, request/response captures, and tool output for every confirmed finding.
04
Remediation Roadmap
Prioritised fix list with specific code-level, config-level, or process-level remediation guidance for each finding.
05
Re-test Certificate
Formal confirmation that critical and high findings were retested and verified as resolved after remediation.

Why Work With Me

What sets this
engagement apart

Always Manual

No engagement is just a scan-and-report. Every finding is manually verified and exploited where possible — because automated tools miss what skilled humans find.

Both Sides of the Fence

I manage enterprise infrastructure by day and break into systems by night. That dual perspective means I understand the defender's constraints as well as the attacker's opportunities.

Clear Communication

Reports are written for two audiences — technical teams who need to fix things, and executives who need to understand risk. No jargon dump, no filler.

Re-test Included

Critical and high findings are re-tested after remediation at no additional cost. You get a re-test certificate confirming the issues are closed.

Ethics & Authorisation

Every engagement runs within explicit written scope and rules of engagement. Security work without proper authorisation isn't security work — it's a crime.

Practical Remediation

Remediation guidance is specific and actionable — not "patch your software." You get exact config changes, code fixes, or process improvements for each finding.
