About

Most people learn cybersecurity by reading about it. I learn by breaking things in a lab. I'm Vivek Sharma — a Cybersecurity student from Bareilly, UP, currently completing my PG Diploma in Cyber Security from Government Polytechnic Ghaziabad. While studying, I've been building hands-on skills that most freshers only read about in textbooks. What I've actually done: → Wireshark Network Analysis: Captured live packets on Kali Linux, applied DNS/TCP/HTTP filters, and identified abnormal traffic patterns — documented the entire investigation on GitHub. → Splunk SOC Investigation: Built custom SPL queries to detect brute-force authentication patterns in log data. Simulated a real SOC L1 analyst workflow end to end. → Nmap Vulnerability Scanning: Performed structured vulnerability scans in a lab environment, identified open ports and service misconfigurations, and documented findings as a formal report. → Password Cracking & Hashing: Analysed hashing algorithms and demonstrated cracking techniques for educational security awareness. My toolkit: Wireshark · Splunk · Nmap · Burp Suite · Kali Linux MITRE ATT&CK · Snort (Basic) · Microsoft Sentinel (Basic) TCP/IP · DNS · Log Analysis · Active Directory Fundamentals Certified by Cisco (Endpoint Security, Network Defense, Junior Cybersecurity Analyst Path) and TATA Forage (Cybersecurity Analyst Simulation). Looking for: An entry-level SOC Analyst, Cybersecurity Analyst, or Threat Detection role where I can contribute from Day 1 — not just shadow, but actually investigate, detect, and respond. Open to full-time roles, internships, and referrals. Drop me a message — thecybervivek@gmail.com github.com/vivek-sh45
