SSH/Telnet deception infrastructure with real-time attack dashboard
Deployed Cowrie honeypot on a DigitalOcean VPS surfacing live attack data through a custom React dashboard. Logs attacker sessions, command sequences, and credential attempts, then visualizes trends over time.

WireGuard VPN · AdGuard Home · Unbound recursive DNS
Deployed a full personal network privacy stack running on a DigitalOcean VPS including WireGuard for encrypted tunneling, AdGuard Home for DNS-level ad/tracker blocking, and Unbound for recursive DNS resolution (no third-party resolver in the chain). Zero-trust approach: everything is authenticated and encrypted.
