Umar Ahmed — Cybersecurity Portfolio

SOC Analyst · Cloud Pentester · Red Team Operator

Evidence over conversation. Terminal output or it didn't happen.


🔭 Overview

This repo is my working portfolio — real investigations, real terminal logs, real detection rules. I build in both directions: red team (offensive) and blue team (defensive). The best attackers understand defense, and the best defenders think like attackers.

Currently: Phase 2 — AWS Cloud Pentesting (IAM enumeration)


📁 Structure

/red-team/              ← Offensive operations
  web-attacks/          — OWASP Top 10, blind exploitation
  aws-pentesting/       — IAM escalation, Lambda, S3, IMDS
  active-directory/     — Kerberoasting, BloodHound, Impacket
  ai-llm-attacks/       — Prompt injection, RAG exploitation

/blue-team/             ← Defensive operations
  soc-investigations/   — Phishing, malware, incident response
    phishing/           — Email triage, URL analysis, containment
    malware/            — Static/dynamic analysis, IOC extraction
  detection-rules/      — Sigma rules, Splunk queries
    sigma/              — Production-ready Sigma detection rules
    splunk/             — SPL hunt queries

/labs/                  — Lab write-ups and infrastructure
  s3-enumeration/       — AWS Account ID via public S3
  infrastructure/       — Lab architecture manifest

🔴 SOC Investigations

ID Type Verdict CVE
SOC120 Phishing (Internal) 🟢 False Positive
SOC140 Phishing (Attachment) 🔴 True Positive
SOC141 Phishing (URL) 🔴 True Positive
SOC104 Malware (Download) 🟢 False Positive
SOC137 Malware (Macro) 🔴 True Positive
SOC138 Malware (C2) 🔴 True Positive
SOC342 Web Attack (RCE) 🔴 True Positive CVE-2025-53770
SOC287 Network (LFI) 🔴 True Positive CVE-2024-24919

🛡️ Detection Rules

Rule Technique MITRE ATT&CK
Internal Phishing Email keyword + sender verification T1566.001
Malicious Attachments Macro-enabled Office docs T1566.001, T1204.002
Malicious URL Access Proxy/DNS detection T1189, T1204.001
Suspicious Downloads Allowlist-filtered download detection T1189
Macro → PowerShell AutoOpen spawning PowerShell T1204.002, T1059.001
C2 Beaconing Periodic outbound C2 traffic T1071.001
SharePoint RCE ToolPane.aspx exploitation T1190
csc.exe Compile w3wp.exe → csc.exe T1059.001
Directory Traversal ../ on network gateways T1190, T1083

Each Sigma rule is production-ready and mapped to its corresponding SOC investigation.


🧠 Workflow

I run a dual-agent setup: Hermes (this VPS) for strategy and documentation, Agent0 (local) for execution. Obsidian vault for knowledge management. GitHub for evidence storage and portfolio.

Every lab session produces terminal output, an Obsidian note, and an artifact in this repo.
