Cybersecurity Student Trainee - Hands-on Labs & Simulated Environments

Offenso Hackers Academy

Jul 2025 - Apr 2026

Monitored and triaged security alerts in Splunk across simulated environments, distinguishing true positives from noise. Analyzed 20+ simulated phishing emails and malicious URLs, identifying headers, payloads, and attacker TTPs. Performed packet-level traffic analysis in Wireshark to detect anomalies and reconstruct attack sequences. Extracted and validated IOCs using VirusTotal and open-source threat intel to confirm malicious activity. Ran vulnerability scans (Nmap) and web app security tests (Burp Suite) against lab targets, documenting exploitable findings. Investigated Windows and Linux system logs to identify suspicious activities and indicators of compromise (IOCs). Performed basic malware and file reputation analysis using VirusTotal and open-source intelligence (OSINT) resources. Validated web application vulnerabilities against OWASP Top 10 using hands-on lab environments. Mapped simulated attacker behavior to MITRE ATT&CK to strengthen detection logic and identify coverage gaps. Documented security findings and incident investigation details in simulated SOC workflows, following incident escalation and reporting procedures.
