Cybersecurity & IT Support · SOC Operations
Defender by training, breaker by curiosity — 650 hours of Cisco & Fortinet training, hands-on SOC work with Splunk & QRadar, a self-built home lab, and a write-up for everything I solve.
Log search, SPL/AQL query authoring, alert triage, and incident containment workflows across SOC simulated environments.
650-hour Israel MoD program: TCP/IP routing/switching, Windows Server Active Directory (GPO, Kerberos), and FortiGate NGFW.
Managed soldier entitlements and time-sensitive requests under strict operational SLAs using CRM/SAP ticketing.
Hands-on pentesting, attack path replication, and documented lab write-ups to understand adversary methodology.
ABOUT
Cybersecurity graduate of a hands-on 650-hour program sponsored by the Israel Ministry of Defense (Cisco & Fortinet specialization), with ongoing practice through Hack The Box Academy and a self-built home lab. Hands-on across enterprise networking, Windows Server/AD, Linux, FortiGate NGFW and SOC workflows — alert triage, log investigation and the incident response lifecycle with Splunk and IBM QRadar.
SKILLS & TOOLS
PROJECTS
Single-page tracker for the CTF grind — 399 HTB & THM machines with flag checkboxes, hints, session timers, activity streaks, a reverse-shell generator and built-in cheat sheets. Zero backend, all local.
Study companion for the Cisco CCNA 200-301: 20 study topics, an 871-question drill bank with hints and explanations, and a full exam simulator — 103 questions, 120 minutes, scored /1000.
Field-ready penetration testing and cybersecurity notes — covering the full kill chain from enumeration to Active Directory attacks (Kerberoasting, DCSync), with command cheat sheets and attack playbooks.
EXPERIENCE & JOURNEY
Final project: an Android app in Java for crypto price tracking & currency conversion (USD/EUR/ILS), plus web development with HTML/CSS.
Managed soldier entitlements and sensitive requests under operational deadlines and strict SLAs, using SAP ERP and CRM ticketing workflows. Documented findings and next steps for technical and command stakeholders.
650 hours of hands-on training across five official modules on Israel's largest Cisco training lab: TCP/IP Networking, Windows Domain & Active Directory, Linux Administration, Cisco Security Technologies and Next-Gen Firewall / FortiGate — with SOC workflows on IBM QRadar and Splunk SOAR.
Self-directed offensive security on Hack The Box Academy, a self-built virtualized home lab (Windows Server AD + Kali), Wireshark traffic analysis — and a public write-up for everything I solve.
CTF WRITE-UPS
Penetration testing of an internal Support Operations Platform — Hydra brute-force, role cookie forging, BOLA API abuse, path-traversal LFI, and command injection leading to root.
