Cyber Attack Simulation

Cyber Kill Chain · Award-winning

Simulated the full attack lifecycle from reconnaissance to exfiltration in a controlled lab — spear phishing, trojan deployment, then SIEM and EDR detection. Awarded Best Cybersecurity Project at Tuwaiq Academy.

SIEMEDRSpear PhishingNetwork Monitoring

Cyber Threat Intelligence Platform

MISP · TheHive · Cortex

Built a simulated CTI and incident response environment integrating MISP, TheHive and Cortex. Analyzed APT-based threat events; enriched IOCs through VirusTotal, OTX, and Censys to support detection and containment.
