CYBERSECURITY STUDENT · OFFENSIVE SECURITY · LINUX · OPSEC
|
I'm a cybersecurity student from Portugal focused on offensive security, penetration testing, Linux-based systems and security research. I build practical security tools, maintain technical documentation and experiment with systems through personal projects, virtualized environments and hands-on labs. My current path is centered around understanding how systems work, how they fail, and how they can be assessed from an offensive security perspective. I'm also an experienced student in internet anonymity, privacy and online operational security (OPSEC), with hands-on study of Tor Browser, Tails, compartmentalized environments and privacy-oriented workflows. Rather than focusing only on running tools, I aim to understand the underlying systems, attack surfaces and techniques behind them. |

|
An experimental AI project currently under active development. The project is part of my broader experimentation with software, automation and personal infrastructure.
|
Independent research into systems, privacy, anonymity and security. Research is documented separately from ordinary learning notes, with emphasis on technical methodology and reproducible observations.
|
|
A Linux security auditing project focused on identifying security-relevant system configurations, privilege-related risks and hardening issues. Checks include
|
A lightweight Python forensic tool for image metadata extraction, EXIF analysis and forensic indicator detection. Features include
|
|
A structured and continuously evolving cybersecurity knowledge base built through practical learning, research and technical documentation. The repository covers foundational security concepts and hands-on learning material, including networking, operating systems, Linux, Windows, Active Directory, cryptography, OSINT, web security and penetration testing. |
The advanced continuation of my cybersecurity knowledge base, focused on deeper offensive-security concepts, practical techniques, walkthroughs and technical documentation. Built as a long-term reference while progressing through more advanced penetration-testing material. |
|
An experimental project exploring automation and assistance for penetration-testing workflows.
|
An experimental security project developed to explore password and authentication-related concepts in controlled environments.
