About

👋 About Me Hi, I'm Hetanshi Shah, a Computer Engineering graduate with a strong passion for Cybersecurity and a long-term goal of specializing in Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR). My interest in cybersecurity comes from wanting to understand how systems work, how attacks happen, and how security incidents can be investigated and prevented. To build a strong technical foundation, I've been focusing on Linux administration, networking, shell scripting, and hands-on cybersecurity labs. So far, I've built practical knowledge in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), completed CCNA to strengthen my networking fundamentals, learned Bash Shell Scripting, explored web application security using Burp Suite, and worked with tools like Nmap and Wireshark. I've also participated in beginner Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges to improve my analytical and problem-solving skills. I believe the best way to learn cybersecurity is by doing. Whether it's configuring Linux systems, troubleshooting networks, writing shell scripts, or experimenting in virtual lab environments, I enjoy turning theory into practical experience. I also share my learning journey to stay consistent and connect with the cybersecurity community. While my long-term goal is to build a career in Digital Forensics and Incident Response, I'm excited to begin my professional journey in a Security Operations Center (SOC) or an entry-level Cybersecurity Analyst role, where I can develop real-world experience, strengthen my incident analysis skills, and continue learning from experienced professionals. 💻 Technical Skills Operating Systems: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Kali Linux, Windows Networking: CCNA, TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, Routing & Switching Cybersecurity: Linux Security, Network Security, Web Application Security (Burp Suite), Vulnerability Assessment Fundamentals Programming & Scripting: Bash (Shell Scripting), Python, Java Tools: Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark, VMware Workstation, Oracle VirtualBox, Git, GitHub, TryHackMe I'm currently seeking Cybersecurity Internships, SOC Analyst, and Entry-Level Cybersecurity Analyst opportunities where I can contribute, continue learning, and work toward my goal of becoming a Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR) professional. Let's connect and grow together in the cybersecurity community. 🚀🔐
