About Me
Aspiring Cybersecurity Specialist | Creative Coder
Hi, I'm Shimon Talukder Raj. A cybersecurity enthusiast passionate about offensive security, digital forensics, and continuous learning.
My primary interests are Red Teaming, Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR), Threat Detection, Web Security, and Network Security. I have hands-on experience with 20+ cybersecurity tools, including Nmap, Nessus, SQLMap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark, Volatility, OWASP ZAP, and others through labs, projects, and practical learning.
I’ve already completed multiple courses. including:
- Cyber Security & Ethical Hacking Career Track Program (Ostad)
- Cybersecurity Career Path by Microsoft & LinkedIn
- CCNA 200-301 (Simplilearn)
- Programming for Cybersecurity (Let's Defend)
- Essential IT Skills – Basic computer, social-networking, and office knowledge
