Hi, I'm Abdul Rafay

I'm a Cybersecurity Student

Passionate cybersecurity enthusiast from FAST-NUCES, dedicated to mastering the art of digital defense through hands-on experience in CTF competitions, security research, and real-world threat analysis.

About Me

Passionate Cybersecurity Student

I'm currently pursuing my degree in Computer Science at FAST-NUCES, with a specialized focus on cybersecurity. My journey began with a fascination for understanding how systems work and, more importantly, how they can be protected.

Through extensive participation in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, I've honed my skills in various cybersecurity domains including reverse engineering, digital forensics, web application security, and cryptography.

My goal is to contribute to the cybersecurity community by developing innovative security solutions and helping organizations build robust defense mechanisms against evolving threats.
