Router-on-a-Stick & Layer 3 Switching

Enabled inter-VLAN routing using ROAS on a Layer 3 device. Integrated Layer 3 switching for performance optimization across VLANs.

Security Measures: ACLs, Port-Security, NAT

Applied ACLs to control traffic access. Enabled Port-Security to restrict unauthorized MAC addresses. Configured NAT (PAT & Static) to allow internet access and public-to-private service publishing.

High Availability & VPN

Deployed FHRP (HSRP/VRRP) to ensure default gateway redundancy. Configured IPsec VPN for secure site-to-site connection between HQ and branch.

Monitoring and Logging

Integrated Syslog for centralized log collection and SNMP v3 for secure device monitoring and management.

System Administration Projects

Server Infrastructure

Designed and deployed centralized server systems for company, improving user access, data security, and IT manageability. Included File Server, ADDS, DHCP, DNS, RADIUS, and domain controller redundancy.

Windows Server Services Deployment

Configured Active Directory, Certificate Services, DHCP, DNS, and Network Policy Server on Windows Server 2022. Applied GPOs for user restrictions and access control across organizational units.

Web Hosting Stack with High Availability

Built redundant web servers with Apache HTTP + NGINX Plus load balancing. Hosted a WordPress-based intranet site integrated with MariaDB running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Monitoring & Backup Solutions

Deployed Zabbix for server and network monitoring, Xcitium EDR for endpoint protection, Veeam for backup & replication, and TrueNAS for on-premise secure storage.

Virtualization Infrastructure

Built and managed virtual environments using VMware Workstation for local labs and VMware ESXi for enterprise-grade server virtualization. Deployed multiple guest operating systems for testing, server simulation, and service isolation.

Cloud Projects

Azure Virtual Network & VPN Gateway Lab

Created an Azure virtual network with multiple subnets and deployed a VPN Gateway to securely connect an on-premises network. Configured point-to-site VPN using self-signed certificates and tested cross-premises connectivity.

Azure IaaS Deployment: VM, NSG, Public IP

Deployed a VM in Azure with custom NSGs, public/private IP, storage, and extensions. Enabled RDP access through security rules and monitored metrics in Azure Monitor.

Microsoft Entra ID Integration (formerly Azure AD)

Integrated on-premises Windows Server with Microsoft Entra ID. Enabled SSO and tested user provisioning using Entra Connect. Managed role-based access via Entra roles and conditional access policies.

Cloud Storage & File Sharing on Azure

Set up Azure File Shares for secure cloud storage. Configured shared access signatures (SAS) for temporary secure file access and mounted file shares on Windows and Linux VMs using SMB.

AWS EC2 and S3 Automation

Launched EC2 instances using preconfigured AMIs. Created an S3 bucket for object storage and enabled versioning. Applied IAM policies to control access and enabled logging for audit compliance.

GCP: Compute Engine & IAM Roles

Deployed Compute Engine VMs with custom firewall rules. Configured service accounts and IAM roles to grant least-privilege access. Integrated Stackdriver for logging and monitoring.

CVE POC

Arbitrary Code Execution via WinRAR File Processing Vulnerability (CVE-2023-38831)

CVE-2023-38831 is a critical vulnerability in WinRAR, a widely used file compression tool. It allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting the way WinRAR handles specially crafted archive files. This flaw has been actively used in targeted attacks, posing a serious threat to WinRAR users.



Proof of Concept: Email Phishing Attack to Capture NTLMv2 Hashes (CVE-2024-30103)

Conducted an attack to capture NTLMv2 hashes via email phishing by embedding a UNC path, exploiting an unpatched Outlook vulnerability (CVE-2024-30103). When the victim opens the email, the client automatically initiates an SMB connection, thereby exposing the NTLMv2 hash.



Exploitation of Windows RPC and Microsoft Defender Vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-26810 & CVE-2023-24934)

CVE-2022-26810: RCE in Windows RPC, allowing remote code execution via crafted network packets.

CVE-2023-24934: Security bypass in Microsoft Defender, enabling malware to evade detection.

Combined, they allow stealthy remote attacks, malware deployment, and persistent access.



Critical SQL Injection in WordPress Automatic Plugin (CVE-2024-27956)

CVE-2024-27956 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability in the WordPress Automatic plugin (versions prior to 3.92.1). It allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries, potentially creating admin accounts and gaining full control over the web server.



Critical Remote Code Execution in Windows LDAP Service via CLDAP (CVE-2024-49112)

CVE-2024-49112 is a severe vulnerability in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service of Microsoft Windows Server. The flaw exists in how the LDAP server processes specially crafted Connectionless LDAP (CLDAP) requests over UDP. An attacker can send a malicious CLDAP request to a Domain Controller, causing it to mishandle memory pointers during referral processing. This leads to remote code execution without authentication, potentially allowing full system compromise or denial of service.
