This repository is my public collection of work in penetration testing and security research.
It includes:
- Detailed engagement write-ups (redacted for safety and confidentiality)
- Recreated vulnerable lab examples for learning and demonstration
- Scripts, notes, and playbooks I use during engagements
- Templates for reports and proof-of-concept (PoC) artifacts
⚠️ Note: All real engagements are redacted to protect client confidentiality. When permitted, I include sanitised screenshots and sample payloads that are safe for public sharing.
