SECURITY PROJECTS Integrated SOC & DFIR Home Lab (Wazuh, TheHive, Cortex, Autopsy) github.com/RootSec01/SOC-Project
  • Built an end-to-end SOC workflow across 6 stages (detection, case management, enrichment, backup validation, restore testing, and forensic review) in an isolated virtual environment.
  • Configured Wazuh (SIEM/XDR) with File Integrity Monitoring to detect 3 event types (file creation, modification, and deletion) on a monitored Linux endpoint in real time.
  • Documented incidents as TheHive cases, executed observable enrichment through Cortex analyzers, and validated backup integrity using SHA-256 with safe restore testing.
  • Conducted DFIR evidence indexing and reporting using Autopsy, integrating Wazuh, TheHive, Cortex, Docker Compose, Autopsy, and Kali Linux into one documented SOC/DFIR workflow with an evidence gallery and recovery validation.
  • Stack: Wazuh, TheHive, Cortex, Docker Compose, Autopsy, Kali Linux. CyberOSINT Intelligence Platform (Python / FastAPI) github.com/RootSec01/project-osint
  • Developed a full-stack OSINT and attack-surface analysis platform supporting 5 target types (IP, Domain, CIDR, ASN, Organization) with a security-first, non-destructive, authorization-gated design.
  • Integrated 4+ intelligence sources (Shodan, Censys, NVD/CVE, threat-intel feeds) into a correlation engine that maps services to CVEs, assigns CVSS scores, and produces a prioritized Top-10 vulnerability list.
  • Implemented evidence-based run archiving using structured JSON artifacts and per-run reporting to support reproducibility and audit trails, plus optional lab-only verification (Nmap service detection, OWASP ZAP passive analysis).
