OPERATOR PORTFOLIO / 04
red team · penetration testing · network pentesting
I'm Abdulrahman Ghanayem (@u2cxe), a Networks and Cybersecurity student in Jordan building toward red team operations. CCNA certified. The graph on this page is a toy network. Take it over.
phase 1: recon
I'm a second-year student at Al-Ahliyya Amman University specializing in Networks and Cybersecurity. Attackers live in the network, so I started there and earned my CCNA first.
My focus is red team, penetration testing and network pentesting. I learn on legal labs only and document what I find.
phase 2: weaponize
The CCNA is my foundation. Offensive skills grow with every lab and will be listed here as I prove them.
Routing, switching, IP services and connectivity on Cisco gear.
Access control, wireless security and device hardening.
Scripting security tooling.
phase 3: deliver
Tools and lab work I've built.
Future security projects and lab work will appear here.
