Gokulnath D

Aspiring Cybersecurity Fresher with a focus on VAPT and Incident Response, currently building strong hands-on skills through real labs, tools, and industry certifications. I have practical experience working with tools such as Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Wireshark, Hydra, Nessus, Nikto, and Gobuster for vulnerability assessment, exploitation, and post-exploitation.

Along with offensive security skills, I also have exposure to SOC fundamentals including log analysis, SIEM monitoring (Splunk, Wazuh, Elastic Security), incident handling, and threat detection workflows — giving me a balanced understanding of both Red and Blue Team operations.

I actively practice on platforms like TryHackMe and Hack The Box to simulate real-world attack paths and improve my technical depth.

- CEH v13 (EC-Council)
- eJPT (INE)
- CPTS (Hack The Box - In Progress)
