Projects & Security Research

Real learning. Real testing. Real cybersecurity practice.

Welcome to the projects section of Amrit Yadav’s cybersecurity portfolio. This page documents practical cybersecurity work, penetration testing labs, ethical hacking exercises, system administration setups, and security research projects focused on understanding modern digital threats and improving defensive security practices.

As a Cybersecurity Analyst and Ethical Hacker based in New York City, I believe the best way to learn cybersecurity is through hands-on experimentation, technical analysis, and consistent problem-solving. Every project here represents practical learning, technical growth, and a deeper understanding of how systems can be secured against evolving cyber threats.

This portfolio will continue to grow with:

  • Penetration Testing Labs
  • Ethical Hacking Research
  • Network Security Analysis
  • Vulnerability Assessments
  • System Administration Projects
  • Capture The Flag (CTF) Writeups
  • Security Tools & Automation
  • Cybersecurity Tutorials & Documentation

Why This Portfolio Exists

The purpose of this projects page is not just to showcase technical work, but to document growth, share knowledge, and contribute to a more security-aware digital environment.

Cybersecurity is not only about tools and exploits. It is about understanding systems, identifying weaknesses responsibly, and helping people and organizations reduce risk before incidents happen.
