Cybersecurity Enthusiast | BTech CSE Student | Linux Nerd | Hardware & Network Explorer
Hi, I’m Aravind Lal — 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. I’m passionate about building secure systems, analyzing logs, setting up servers, and exploring how networks really work — and how to protect them.
- Research: Log analysis & anomaly detection for intrusion response in small-scale Linux networks.
- Home Server Project: Repurposed an old Acer Travelmate (2015) into a private file server using Samba, IP masking, and network traffic control.
- Network Intrusion Log Manager: Desktop App Built in Java Swing + JDBC + MySQL
- Sniff-Recon: Python streamlit GUI tool for PCAP analysis, leveraging AI (GroqCloud APIs) to detect anomalies, suspicious traffic patterns, and potential attacks.
- Multi-Boot Playground: Parrot OS, Kali, Arch Linux, Pop!_OS — real-world OS-level experiments.
- Cybersecurity • Penetration Testing • Digital Forensics
- Networking • Firewalls • Packet Analysis
- Backend Engineering • Log Systems • Java + MySQL
- Hardware Builds • Home Labs • Linux Administration
- Arch-Based OS Distros • Terminal Power • 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:
- Secure internships/projects in cybersecurity & infrastructure security.
- Build advanced network security solutions.
- Contribute to open-source cybersecurity projects.
- Explore AI + Cybersecurity integrations.
- Develop skills towards becoming a Cybersecurity Engineer.
