PROJECTS
Here are some of my school projects: In this exploration, I delve into real-life scenarios designed to enhance my learning experience. While I have faced in resources, my focus remains on educational growth and practical understanding. as I navigate these challenges and insights.
Huge credits to my professor, Mr. Khaled Jabbari for teaching us the critical skills needed to navigate the complex world of cybersecurity.
VLANs within network
In this project, I successfully created four VLANs within a network and integrated a router to facilitate seamless communication between them By configuring DHCP pools, I enabled automatic IP address assignment for devices in each VLAN,lining network management and enhancing efficiency. This setup not only network performance but also allows for better security and segmentation. Additionally, by extending the network, I ensured scalability to support future growth and increased connectivity.

DDoS via Python
In this project, I simulated DDoS attacks in a controlled Python lab against a dummy web server—scanned open ports, ran the server, and analyzed mitigation effectiveness to strengthen network defenses.

Monitor Android Activity with Splunk
Here, I used Android Studio’s emulator to simulate user actions (app installs, language changes, PIN setup), captured logs via ADB logcat, forwarded them to Splunk with the Universal Forwarder, and analyzed them using Splunk SPL to identify key behavioral and security events.

Server Security
I secured the Windows Server by implementing Group Policy Objects (GPO), blocking DHCP SMB services through both GPO and the firewall, and issuing computer certificates. Benefits of this approach include enhanced security by unauthorized access, improved control over server settings through GPO, and secure communications with valid certificates, ultimately reducing the risk of potential vulnerabilities.

Monitoring critical security events on Windows & Ubuntu via Splunk
This project aims to enhance security by configuring both Windows and Ubuntu to log critical security events, specifically focusing on failed login attempts. By utilizing the built Windows Event Logging system and integrating Splunk for analysis, users will gain insights into potential security threats. Similarly, on Ubuntu, the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) will be configured alongside rsyslog to ensure thorough logging of login attempts. Streamlined logging processes across both Windows and Ubuntu systems, fostering a comprehensive security strategy.
