Hi, I'm Akinola Selim (Asio) 👋 I'm two years into a Cybersecurity Science degree at Federal university of technology minna, and somewhere between subnetting assignments,debugging Java and python loops at 1am and tryhackme rooms, I decided I actually want to work as a cybersecurity analyst — the kind where you're staring at a PCAP file trying to figure out why traffic to some random IP looks off.
Most of what's on this profile is me learning that skill in public. Nothing here is a tutorial follow-along — if a repo exists, it's because I sat with a real scenario (a phishing email, a RAT beaconing to a C2 server, a tampered file) and worked through it like I'd have to on the job.
I run Kali daily, and write most of my code in nano because I like staying close to the terminal. What I've actually built
phishing-analysis-soc-lab Took a phishing email apart using PhishTool, AbuseIPDB, VirusTotal, and CyberChef, then mapped the whole thing to MITRE ATT&CK. The part I'm proudest of: explaining why a clean VirusTotal scan doesn't mean a domain is safe.
file-integrity-monitor A Python CLI that fingerprints files with MD5/SHA1/SHA256/SHA512 and flags anything that changes after the fact. Started as a course exercise, turned into something I'd actually trust to catch tampering.
Where I'm headed
Grey hat curiosity, blue team discipline. I like understanding how things break well enough to know how to stop them.
