Conducted network reconnaissance and traffic analysis using Nmap and Wireshark, identifying open ports, services, DNS activity, TCP handshakes, ARP traffic, and vulnerabilities. Performed vulnerability assessment and penetration testing using Metasploit, covering reconnaissance, exploit configuration, payload analysis, and controlled exploitation. Analyzed binary vulnerabilities using stack-based buffer overflows, AFL++ fuzzing, and Ghidra reverse engineering to identify vulnerable code and control-flow issues.
