About Me
Hi, I'm Aravind Lal — a BTech Computer Science & Engineering student at IHRD College of Engineering, Kallooppara. I specialize in cybersecurity, networking, backend systems, and working close to the hardware and OS-level. I'm passionate about building secure systems, analyzing logs, setting up servers, and exploring how networks really work — and how to protect them.
What I'm Working On
- Research: Log analysis & anomaly detection for intrusion response in small-scale Linux networks.
- Home Server Project: Repurposed an old Acer Travelmate (2015) into a private file server using Samba, IP masking, and network traffic control.
- Network Intrusion Log Manager: Desktop App Built in Java Swing + JDBC + MySQL
- Sniff-Recon: Python streamlit GUI tool for PCAP analysis, leveraging AI (GroqCloud APIs) to detect anomalies, suspicious traffic patterns, and potential attacks.
- Multi-Boot Playground: Parrot OS, Kali, Arch Linux, Pop!_OS — real-world OS-level experiments.
