DNS Sinkhole ⮊
This project involved setting up a Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole to act as a DNS-level ad blocker across my home network. I configured upstream DNS filtering, custom blocklists, and traffic monitoring via the web UI. This helped deepen my understanding of DNS behavior, network telemetry, and system-level visibility.
Command & Control Server ⮊
This project uses a Raspberry Pi 3 as a functional Command & Control (C2) server. It receives beacons from remote clients, logs active endpoints, and enables secure terminal-based interaction via an internal control interface. Designed to emulate adversary infrastructure, it supports hands-on testing of persistence, communication, and operator workflows in a controlled environment.
WireGuard VPN Gateway ⮊
This project uses the same Raspberry Pi 3 used in my C2 server to create a VPN gateway to remotely access machines within my home network, without publicly exposing every machine and expanding my attack surface.
Home Network SIEM (In Progress) ⮊
I'm developing a SIEM for my home network to better familiarize myself with incident and event detection, as well as with SIEM tools.
