Kishore Kumar — Cybersecurity Analyst & Developer

01. whoami

Hi, I'm Kishore — a cybersecurity student with a strong interest in practical, hands-on problem-solving. I started out trying to figure out how things work (and sometimes how they break), and that curiosity turned into real projects involving network monitoring, honeypots, and secure file systems.

Most of what I've learned has come from getting hands-on — analysing traffic, experimenting with IDS setups, watching honeypots in action, and writing small scripts to make investigations clearer. I enjoy the investigative side of security: following patterns, understanding behaviour, and finding the story hidden in the data.

I'm currently a year into that — spending my placement year as a Software Test & Support Engineer, working with live systems, logs, and real users every day. Different job title, same instinct: figure out why something's broken, then fix it properly.
