Gokulnath D

Aspiring Cybersecurity Fresher with a focus on VAPT and Incident Response, currently building strong hands-on skills through real labs, tools, and industry certifications. I have practical experience working with tools such as Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Wireshark, Hydra, Nessus, Nikto, and Gobuster for vulnerability assessment, exploitation, and post-exploitation.

Along with offensive security skills, I also have exposure to SOC fundamentals including log analysis, SIEM monitoring (Splunk, Wazuh, Elastic Security), incident handling, and threat detection workflows — giving me a balanced understanding of both Red and Blue Team operations.

I actively practice on platforms like TryHackMe and Hack The Box to simulate real-world attack paths and improve my technical depth.

• CEH v13 (EC-Council)
• eJPT (INE)
• CPTS (Hack The Box - In Progress)
• CRTP (Altered Security - In Progress)
• CEH Practical (Scheduled)

🔹 Hands-On Capabilities:

• Reconnaissance & Enumeration
• Vulnerability Scanning & Exploitation
• Password Attacks (Hashcat, Hydra, John the Ripper)
• Web Application Testing (OWASP Top 10)
• Active Directory Lab Attacks & Privilege Escalation

🎯 Career Interests:

• Cybersecurity Analyst
• SOC Analyst (L1/L2)
• VAPT / Penetration Testing Intern or Full Time
• Information Security Analyst
• Red Team Junior (Future Path)

I’m passionate about ethical hacking and helping organizations secure their environments before adversaries exploit them. Open to cybersecurity internships, entry-level roles, and practical projects to apply my skills in real production environments.
