💀 CyberSecurity Journey — Evidence-Backed Security Portfolio

A self-directed cybersecurity project documenting real offensive and defensive security work, executed independently using industry-standard tools and methodologies.

This repository demonstrates hands-on penetration testing, system hardening, failed and successful attack paths, and verifiable evidence — presented in a professional, performance-focused dashboard.

🧠 Project Overview

• Type: Independent / Self-Directed Practice
• Duration: 02 July 2025 – 02 September 2025
• Environment: Kali Linux & Windows 11
• Focus Areas: Penetration Testing · Security Hardening · Compliance Auditing

Tech

• HTML5, CSS3, Vanilla JavaScript (no frameworks, no backend)
• Optimized animations (keyframes, transitions, IntersectionObserver)
• Netlify-ready static site

Structure

• index.html
• assets/css/style.css
• assets/js/app.js
• assets/data/tools.json
• Results Screenshots/ (filenames referenced in UI; not auto-loaded)

⚠️ Disclaimer (Responsible Use)

This project was conducted independently for educational and portfolio purposes only.

• All offensive security testing was performed exclusively in authorized lab environments (HackTheBox and local test systems).
• Do not target real systems without explicit written permission.
• All commands and screenshots are provided as evidence of lawful lab practice.
• You are solely responsible for how you use this material.

Open Practice & Proof

• Evidence is loaded on-demand via a modal to avoid auto-displaying sensitive artifacts.
• Screenshots are grouped by phase (Enumeration, Nmap, Web, Exploitation/LFI, SMB, CIS‑CAT).
• The Tools & Commands Matrix is searchable and filterable (success and failed attempts).

Run Locally

Use any static server. Examples:

VS Code Live Server (recommended)

• Install the Live Server extension
• Open index.html and click “Go Live”

Node

npx serve .

Python

# Python 3
python -m http.server 5500
# then open http://localhost:5500

Note: Loading JSON via the file:// protocol is blocked by browsers. A local server or Netlify is required for the Tools Matrix. The app includes a safe JS fallback dataset to preview without a server.

Deploy (Netlify)

• Build command: (leave empty)
• Publish directory: /
• Drag-and-drop the project folder into Netlify, or connect a Git repo.

Screenshots (Filenames)

Place your real screenshots in Results Screenshots/ — the UI references filenames only and loads on demand:

• TombWatcher.png
• TombWatcher Pwned.png
• CIS CAT Success Report.png
• Screenshots with cmds/… (Enumeration/Nmap/Web/LFI/SMB/CIS‑CAT)
