Smart Irrigation System

Live β†—

End-to-end IoT system built on Arduino with a YL-69 moisture sensor and water pump. Features automatic control via configurable thresholds, manual override, a Python GUI with 24h history chart, and a local REST API on port 8080 with a mobile-responsive web panel β€” all running 100% offline.

Residential Security System

Live β†—

Automated security system with motion sensors, automatic door control, audible/visual alarm and surveillance camera. Includes nighttime logic (01:00–05:00) with autonomous activation. Runs on Raspberry Pi, Cisco Packet Tracer, or any PC in simulation mode β€” same codebase, zero changes.

CyberOps SOC Lab

Live β†—

Hands-on lab simulating the work of a Tier 2 SOC analyst. Covers Wireshark traffic analysis, iptables hardening, Telnet vs SSH credential exposure, PCAP malware forensics, password auditing and HIDS deployment with OSSEC. Includes IoC extraction and step-by-step incident response.

Flask Web App Security Audit

Live β†—

Full penetration test of a deliberately vulnerable Flask app: five findings β€” Command Injection, Reflected XSS, CSRF, SQL Injection and an exposed debug console (RCE) β€” each located in source, proven with an OWASP ZAP scan of 999 requests plus manual exploits, and shipped with its own remediation. Every attack was run and verified to fire against the target and to be blocked against the hardened version.

AI-Powered Honeypot

In development

A distributed honeypot that simulates vulnerable services to attract and study attackers. Uses machine learning to classify attack patterns, map TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK and generate real-time threat intelligence reports.

Autonomous IoT Mesh Network

In development

A self-reconfiguring IoT mesh network using LoRa + MQTT nodes with a lightweight blockchain layer for data integrity. Designed for environmental monitoring in remote areas with no internet connectivity β€” resilient by design.
