Hello, I’m Loganatha Vishnu Balaji 👋

Security Engineer | Red Teaming & Penetration Testing | Web Application Testing

OSCP+ | CPTS | CRTP | OSWP

🚀 Who Am I?

I am a results-driven cybersecurity professional with a specialized focus on Offensive Security, Active Directory exploitation, and Network Penetration Testing. My approach to security is rooted in the adversarial mindset—understanding exactly how attackers operate to build stronger defenses.

Currently based in Ireland, I am pursuing my MSc in Cybersecurity at Munster Technological University. When I am not in the classroom, I am usually deep in a terminal, sharpening my practical skills through rigorous certification exams and labs.

🛡️ Certifications

I believe in validating skills through the most practical, hands-on exams available in the industry:

💻 Technical Arsenal

My methodology is backed by extensive practice, including over 170+ labs on the PortSwigger Web Security Academy.

🧠 Research & Projects

I am passionate about the intersection of Machine Learning and Security. Project: Unleashing Fileless Malware on Windows I designed a Machine Learning pipeline to analyze fileless malware techniques. By extracting obfuscated command patterns and shell words from PowerShell logs, I identified Decision Tree classifiers as a top performer (90% accuracy) in distinguishing malicious scripts from benign administrative tasks.

📫 Connect With Me

I use this space to publish writeups on CTFs, research on AD exploitation, and insights into new vulnerabilities. If you want to discuss Red Teaming or collaborate on a project, feel free to reach out.
