Abdul Salam

Cybersecurity Enthusiast & Ethical Hacker

I build practical security tools — then try to break them before anyone else does.

BS Computer Science student focused on Cybersecurity, Cryptography, and Network Defense. I spend my time on ethical hacking, Python automation, malware analysis, and research-grade tooling that makes attacks visible and systems resilient.

01About

A practice between the lab and the terminal.

Security isn't about breaking systems — it's about understanding them well enough to protect them.

I am a Computer Science undergraduate at Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University Sheringal, with a practice that sits between research and the terminal: cryptography, network security, malware analysis, and incident response.

Most of my work is built to be used — scanners, intrusion detection systems, hybrid encryption models, and Android assessment tooling. I train on TryHackMe and Hack The Box, and I am actively completing a 100-project ethical hacking challenge.

Open to security internships, research collaboration, and open-source security work.
