AJIT NAYAK
B.Tech Computer Science graduate certified in Advanced Cybersecurity with GenAI (Career247), specializing in SOC Operations, SIEM Threat Detection (Azure Sentinel & KQL), Active Directory Hardening, and Deep Packet Forensics. Ready to safeguard enterprise perimeters with rapid threat containment and zero-lag incident response in Bangalore or remote.
LIVE SOC OPERATIONS
Interact with my live command CLI or observe real-time simulated telemetry feeds from honeypot perimeter sensors.
DEFENSIVE PROJECTS
Real-world security implementations demonstrating SIEM engineering, log analysis, network forensics, and infrastructure hardening.
Azure Sentinel Cloud Honeypot & Global Threat Map
Deployed an exposed Windows VM honeypot in Azure to attract global adversaries. Ingested over 14,000+ brute-force logs via Log Analytics, parsed geo-coordinates with PowerShell, and visualized attack origins on interactive Sentinel workbooks.
Active Directory Security Auditing & Hardening
Simulated adversary techniques including Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, and BloodHound attack path analysis within a multi-forest AD environment. Hardened domain policies against ticket extraction and eliminated legacy weak ciphers.
Enterprise PCAP Malware & C2 Beaconing Forensics
Dissected malicious packet captures using Wireshark and tcpdump to isolate covert command & control (C2) beaconing, carved unauthorized file transmissions, and authored custom Snort IDS signatures for real-time traffic suppression.
Automated Threat Intel & IOC Scanner Pipeline
Engineered a Python 3 automated triage pipeline to extract Indicators of Compromise from unformatted incident logs, query VirusTotal & AbuseIPDB APIs concurrently, and produce risk-scored alert summaries for SOC Tier 1 teams.
KQL QUERY SANDBOX
Test real Kusto Query Language queries used in SOC investigations to extract threats from log telemetry.
DEFENSIVE ARSENAL
Core competencies across SIEM, network forensics, threat hunting, and infrastructure defense.
SIEM & Log Analytics
Network & Forensics
Threat Hunting & AD
Scripting & OS
