Projects

Custom WiFi Pineapple

Feb 2025 - Present

Built a custom WiFi Pineapple setup for wireless network auditing and ethical hacking practice. Used open-source tools to capture handshakes, analyze signal strength, and test security configurations in a controlled lab environment. This project enhanced my understanding of wireless protocols, encryption standards, and penetration testing techniques—all key areas in cybersecurity and network defense.
