Labs, detections, and writeups

Security work with receipts.

This is where I’m putting the technical work behind the résumé: detection ideas, synthetic incidents, network investigations, lab builds, and the writeups that explain what I tested and what happened.

Patch holding an Ethernet cable

Detection engineering

Suspicious Parent–Child Process

A synthetic endpoint process chain I built to practice writing and validating behavior-based detections with Microsoft security tools.

  • MDE
  • ADX
  • KQL

Network detection

Cross-Zone Lateral Movement

A detection exercise using firewall and endpoint data to identify movement between network security zones.

  • Sentinel
  • Palo Alto
  • MDE

Incident response

Synthetic Incident Series

A series of fake-but-realistic security incidents I can investigate end to end without waiting for production to catch fire.

  • IR
  • Threat Hunting
  • Education

STATUS: I’m still turning the raw lab work into readable case studies. Code and writeups will appear here as I finish them.
