👋 Hi, I’m Shivam Pakade — a Cybersecurity Researcher and Red Team Learner passionate about exploring the offensive and defensive sides of cybersecurity.

I’m currently advancing my expertise through the CDAC DITISS (Diploma in IT Infrastructure, Systems, and Security) program, where I’ve gained a strong foundation in:

• 🔐 Network Security – Packet analysis, firewall configuration, and intrusion detection
• 💻 System Administration – Linux/Windows hardening, Active Directory, and server management
• 🧠 Ethical Hacking & Penetration Testing – Vulnerability assessment, exploitation, and report writing
• ☁️ Cloud & Virtualization – Securing cloud environments and managing virtual labs for simulations
• 🧩 Security Tools – Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark, Nessus, and OWASP frameworks

My current learning journey focuses on Red Team operations, threat emulation, and post-exploitation techniques, while continuously researching new methods in adversary simulation and cyber defense.

Through this blog, I aim to share my learnings, practical experiences, and security research projects — from lab setups to real-world attack simulations — to contribute to the infosec community.

💬 Let’s connect and grow together in the world of cybersecurity!
