Cybersecurity Enthusiast | BTech CSE Student | Linux Nerd | Hardware & Network Explorer
Hi, Iโm Aravind Lal โ a BTech Computer Science & Engineering student at IHRD College of Engineering, Kallooppara. I specialize in cybersecurity, networking, backend systems, and working close to the hardware and OS-level. Iโm passionate about building secure systems, analyzing logs, setting up servers, and exploring how networks really work โ and how to protect them.
- ๐ Research: Log analysis & anomaly detection for intrusion response in small-scale Linux networks
- ๐ฅ๏ธ Home Server Project: Repurposed an old Acer Travelmate (2015) into a private file server using Samba, IP masking, and network traffic control
- ๐ป Desktop App:
Network Intrusion Log Managerโ Built in Java Swing + JDBC + MySQL - ๐งช Multi-Boot Playground: Parrot OS, Kali, Manjaro, Pop!_OS โ real-world OS-level experiments
- ๐ง Arch Linux Journey: Used pure Arch, BlackArch, and distros like Garuda, Zorin, Manjaro โ mastered package managers, custom kernels, and system tweaks
- ๐ Cybersecurity โข Penetration Testing โข Digital Forensics
- ๐ Networking โข Firewalls โข Packet Analysis
- ๐งฑ Backend Engineering โข Log Systems โข Java + MySQL
- ๐ ๏ธ Hardware Builds โข Home Labs โข Linux Administration
- ๐ง Arch-Based OS Distros โข Terminal Power โข System Tinkering
These are the languages I use for scripting, backend development, and security automation. I also use HTML/CSS when needed for server dashboards, panels, and log visualization:
From secure Linux distros to rolling releases, I explore each to deepen my system-level knowledge:
My go-to toolkit for network analysis, packet capture, log monitoring, and server-side protection:
What I use for backend logic, system automation, and hands-on server/hardware configuration:
- ๐ Secure internships/projects in cybersecurity & infrastructure security
- ๐ก๏ธ Build lightweight tools for log analysis & system defense
- โ๏ธ Automate backend security with scripts and services
- ๐ LinkedIn โ Professional updates & research logs
- ๐ธ Instagram โ Cyber-themed posts, tech setup glimpses
