Defending systems, one alert at a time
I work across the blue and red sides of security: SIEM-driven SOC monitoring and incident response on one hand, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing on the other, with ongoing CTF work in LLM and prompt-injection security.
VAPT
Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing across networks and applications.
Incident Response
Structured containment and recovery workflows to limit impact.
About
Think like an attacker. Build like a defender.
I'm Adireddy Pavan, based in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. My objective is an entry-level SOC / VAPT / Cybersecurity Analyst role where I can strengthen organisational security and incident response.

Controlled Execution Sandbox
Sandbox that safely executes untrusted Python code under strict security constraints.
- AST-based validation blocks imports, exec/eval, file and system access.
- Runs code in an isolated process with limited safe built-ins.
- Timeout control terminates long-running or infinite loops.

Tamper-Evident Logging System
Cryptographically chained logging system that makes any tampering detectable.
- Links every log entry to the previous one with a SHA-256 hash chain.
- Detects data modification, log deletion and log reordering.
- Includes a verifier to prove log integrity end to end.
