Harshil015/README.md

Harshil Makwana

ECE graduate from SVNIT Surat. I build security tools, break things in authorised lab environments, and document what I find.

Currently looking for my first role in penetration testing, VAPT, or SOC — onsite in Bangalore, Pune, or Hyderabad, or remote for opportunities in Europe or Singapore.


Projects

Honeypot Lab
Python/Flask honeypot that captured 500+ real attacker interactions across four MITRE ATT&CK-mapped attack vectors (RCE, brute-force, web shell, JNDI injection). Includes a Pandas/Matplotlib analysis pipeline with session replay for kill-chain reconstruction.

Advanced Linux Firewall & IPS
Bash/iptables stateful firewall with honeyport-based IDS. 100% intrusion prevention across all lab test scenarios. Auto-bans anomalous IPs within 10 seconds. Full Linux host hardening in under 30 minutes.

Sifter — Automated Reconnaissance Tool
Bash pipeline chaining Nmap → Gobuster → Feroxbuster into a single command. Auto-classifies output, flags high-risk file types, saves timestamped results per run. Built for CTF labs and OSCP-style practice.

CTF Exploit Writeups
12 TryHackMe rooms documented end-to-end across web exploitation, privilege escalation, Active Directory, cryptography, and forensics. All findings mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and OWASP Top 10. Advanced to Round 2 of TCS HackQuest.
