Welcome to my Gitbooks Page

Here is everything you need to know, about me!

👋Thank you for visiting my Gitbooks page, where I host personalized walkthroughs of ethical hacking boxes that i solve on HackTheBox, Blue Team Investigation Writeups from various platforms and Cyber Security Articles.

😃 I am Noel Varghese, a Cybersecurity enthusiast - experienced in Secure Coding, OSINT, Pentesting & Threat Intelligence fields, having taken part in Internships, training, and competitions in these. I am an undergraduate student pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering, with specialization in Cyber Security, at Vellore Institute of Technology, Bhopal.

🙌I believe in being equipped with some red-team techniques and knowledge, by practicing on boxes from HTB, while working in the Threat Intelligence Domain, which can aid me in real-world investigations at CloudSEK, as a Threat Researcher.

📝 Certification held:-

• CompTIA Security+

🔆 Having previous experience in pentesting will prove beneficial as I seek to identify suspicious activity and understand the methodologies exhibited by the malicious actor, to wreak havoc on computer systems, during my blue teaming journey.

👨‍💻️ Retaining an interest in Secure Coding, I have participated in University level Secure Coding Tournaments, achieving 3'rd rank in OWASP Bangalore Chapter and 38'th rank in Devlymics Champions Tournament, conducted by Secure Code Warriors, Australia

🕵 Contributed to Darkwebathon, hosted by the Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative (@TeamATII). During this event, we the help of a 200+ search party scoured the Dark Web, pulled information from tools like Project Hades and Maltego, to identify individuals who operate in gambling, child porn, and CSAM rings

👱 Cyber Security interests me as an individual, being the subject I am majoring in. Finding new techniques to enforce security in everyday life, and resisting attack attempts is thrilling and requires a whole lot of collective efforts from security professionals and general citizens, to make the world a much more secure place. I would very much want to be a part of it

🎇 Being an advocate for incorporating women into the field of Cyber Security, I persevere to remove the gate barriers that they face. This led me to be a member of my University's Women in Cyber Security (WiCYS) Chapter. I try to contribute, to the best of my ability, to this organization

💭 Empowering them, by sharing nuggets of knowledge and providing opportunities to foster their learning and growth, gives me immense joy
