Setting up my very own Active Directory Lab, Setting up my IOT pentesting lab. Some of my interesting projects include coding up a custom exploit mutator using python which automates the process of designing payload to bypass security and antivirus softwares as part of my red team engagments. I have also set up my very own phishing simulator and practised and trained analysing phishing emails. I have also done projects based on Dark web OSINT and Threat Intellegence by monitoring suspicious forums and tracking down various illegal and suspicious crypto currency transactions on Dark Web. I have also conducted a full OSINT investigation to find out critical information about a asset responsibly. Above I have also been solving a practicing cybersecurity, ethical hacking, and penetration testing for over 4 years by solving various labs from TryHackme,  Hack the box, and Root Me.
