Skills practiced : Monitoring Network traffic, Linux
What’s this?
A packet capture from ethernet port 80, the use of display filters, saving the captures, and reviewing a handshake with TCP protocol.
Why this?
Proficiency in Network Monitoring, Intrusion Detection and Prevention, and Incident Response, require packet sniffing techniques. Possessing a foundational understanding of network handshakes, contribute essential knowledge to enhance the effectiveness of these functions.

This project delves into essential steps and commands required for automation within Python. The demonstration includes conversions, loop structures, understanding of conditional statements, and highlights an effective use of iterative statements. In addition, as part of this project, we initiated the development of an algorithm providing the foundation for controlling access to content. This algorithm proves instrumental in ensuring compliance, security, and an updated access list.
Why this?
The applications of automation in Information security are diverse and impactful. From access control to attack surface management to network security, monitoring, and incident response, its resourcefulness is clear. This project serves as a testament to my foundational skills, demonstrating foundational knowledge in scripting, patch management, and various components essential for fortifying a robust security posture.
