§ 01Profile

I build, break, and defend networks.

A hands-on engineer across network operations, offensive security, and threat detection.

I'm Hafiz Asim Shayan Khan, a BS Computer Science graduate from Abasyn University, Peshawar, with a concentration in Cybersecurity & Artificial Intelligence. My work sits where network security, offensive testing, and threat detection meet.

On the offensive side, I've run full red-team engagements — OSINT, reconnaissance, Active Directory attacks, phishing, and endpoint evasion. On the defensive side, I work as a Network Administrator managing campus infrastructure and operating the Wazuh XDR platform, writing custom detection rules and active-response actions tailored to the university's requirements.

Python is my strongest language — it's the thread running through my threat-intel pipelines, deep-learning detectors, automation scripts, and quantum research.

§ 03Experience

Where I've operated.

From breaking into labs on the red team to defending live infrastructure with Wazuh.

Network Administrator · Abasyn University

Jun 2026 — Present
Blue Team · SOC · Peshawar, Pakistan
  • Manage the university's network infrastructure — configuring and maintaining switches and Wi-Fi access points, monitoring performance, and troubleshooting connectivity issues across campus.
  • Deployed the Wazuh XDR platform and write custom detection rules for threat detection and active response, tailored to the university's requirements — with proper documentation of every rule and workflow.
  • Automate routine network and configuration tasks using AI for faster, consistent, and more efficient deployments.
  • Triage alerts, correlate logs, and map detections to MITRE ATT&CK to prioritise investigation and response.

Red Team Intern · Cyberster

Mar 2026 — May 2026
Offensive Security · Remote
  • Ran end-to-end penetration tests across Linux, Windows, and Active Directory labs — passive OSINT through to Domain-Admin compromise.
  • Performed OSINT and subdomain enumeration with Subfinder, Assetfinder, and OWASP Amass — 352 subdomains discovered, 21 live hosts validated via httpx & Gowitness.
  • Executed AD attacks — AS-REP Roasting, Kerberoasting, LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning, GPO ACL abuse — reaching NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on domain controllers.
  • Built phishing campaigns with GoPhish and Havoc C2; applied AMSI bypass, LOLBAS, and payload obfuscation to evade endpoint defences in controlled labs.
  • Documented every finding in professional pentest reports mapped to CVSS and MITRE ATT&CK.
§ 04Programming

Python is my primary language.

Nearly every project on this site — offensive tooling, detection models, automation, research — is written in it.

Python PRIMARY LANGUAGE

My strongest language and the backbone of my work: the ThreatFusion AI intel pipeline, the ThreatNet deep-learning SOC detector, the QSVM quantum research, network scanning and asset-discovery automation, and offensive scripting for active defence and C2.
