Cybersecurity-focused
engineering student.
I'm a Computer & Communications Engineering student at Mansoura University, developing web and network security-testing skills alongside my engineering studies.
My hands-on practice covers web enumeration, network reconnaissance, and foundational Windows and Active Directory security concepts. I work across Linux and Windows environments with Nmap, Burp Suite, Wireshark, and Metasploit.
I also build and maintain open-source security tooling and curated cybersecurity resources for the community.

CyberSec Resources
An open-source cybersecurity resource hub indexing security tools, hands-on labs, and bug bounty writeups — organized across 173 categories and actively maintained.
PassGen
A modular Bash CLI password generator built on /dev/urandom for cryptographically secure randomness. It supports interactive and non-interactive modes, preset profiles, batch generation, and output files written with 0600 permissions.
CTF Writeups
Documented walkthroughs covering service enumeration, privilege escalation, steganography, cryptography, and OSINT across vulnerable machines.
Academic projects
606 ChatApp
Real-time desktop chat built on a Java client-server architecture with separate Client and Server GUIs. Handles multi-user messaging, connection management, and concurrent communication over sockets.
VitalSync
Real-time health monitoring system pairing an Arduino with a pulse sensor and DS18B20 temperature probe. A Node.js dashboard streams live BPM and temperature readings to the browser via WebSockets and serial communication.
DSP — From Noise to Clarity
Audio DSP pipeline covering sampling, quantization, noise generation, Fourier transform, digital filtering, inverse FFT, and signal reconstruction — analyzing frequency-domain behavior across original, noisy, and filtered signals.
Car Animation
Interactive 2D car animation built with Java AWT/Applet and Graphics2D, applying affine transformations, double buffering, multithreading, and an event-driven GUI.
Contactless Biosensor Prototype
Prototype combining LED/photodiode sensing with ultrasonic distance measurement to explore non-contact tissue characterization — sensor data acquired, processed, and visualized through Arduino's serial monitor.
Computer Networks
Designed and simulated networking topologies and configurations in Cisco Packet Tracer — IP addressing, subnetting, routing, switching, and end-to-end network communication across Computer Networks I & II.
Computer Architecture
Implemented and analyzed projects covering digital systems, CPU organization, memory, instruction execution, and computer architecture fundamentals.
Digital Logic Design I & II
Digital logic projects applying Boolean algebra, combinational logic, sequential circuits — flip-flops, counters, registers — and finite-state machine concepts.
