Hi, I'm Panos 👋

Computer Science graduate from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), focused on cybersecurity and systems security. I spend most of my time on security labs, networking, Linux, and small projects that help me understand how systems behave in practice.

LinkedIn · TryHackMe — Dr.pepe

Cybersecurity practice

  • Platforms: TryHackMe, Hack The Box, and LetsDefend
  • Completed on TryHackMe: Pre Security and Cyber Security 101
  • In progress: SOC Level 1 and Jr Penetration Tester
  • Hands-on use: Kali Linux, Nmap, Wireshark, Netcat, Metasploit, msfvenom, Burp Suite, OWASP Top 10, and TCP/IP tooling

My main interests are penetration testing, web application security, network security, security engineering, and SOC / Blue Team fundamentals.
