HAADI> type summary.txt

  • Hi, I'm Haadi, a BS Computer Science student at Air University, Islamabad.
  • Focus: the blue team, threat detection, log analysis, SIEM engineering.
  • I care about what happens after an alert fires, and what's missing before it.
  • I learn by building: real infrastructure, segmented labs, write-ups that show where I got stuck.

01

Detection engineering

Writing and tuning custom Wazuh rules for behaviour the default ruleset misses, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and tested against real simulated attacks.

SOC automation

Connecting SIEM to SOAR so high-severity alerts are triaged and routed automatically, severity thresholds instead of alert fatigue.
