Finding weaknesses, understanding risks and recommending effective security controls.
I’m Hafiz Muhammad Abdullah, professionally known as Muhammad Abdullah and Abdullah Cyber—a BS Cyber Security student and Junior Cybersecurity Analyst at Riphah International University in Pakistan.
A modular Python reconnaissance CLI that combines WHOIS and DNS enumeration, passive subdomain discovery, TCP port scanning, banner collection, technology detection, and structured security reporting in one workflow.
Designed and conducted an authorized Gophish simulation to assess real-world phishing awareness among students in a controlled academic setting.
Deployed an SSH honeypot using sshesame inside VirtualBox to observe brute-force behavior and study attacker interaction patterns.
Solving and organizing security challenges that encourage structured thinking across offensive and defensive cybersecurity concepts.
Completed practical training across Linux administration, networking, Docker, security principles, access control, firewalls, IDS, malware analysis and web vulnerability testing.
Conducted penetration testing and vulnerability assessments in simulated attack environments, identifying weaknesses and recommending improvements.
