Hugo Pereira’s Cybersecurity Portfolio

Welcome to my project portfolio. I am an aspiring cybersecurity professional focused on Security Operations, Threat Hunting, and Incident Response.

This repository documents the evolution of my home lab environment, where I build enterprise-style network architectures, simulate real-world attacks, and develop defensive detection strategies.

Current Tech Stack

My lab is currently built around open-source security monitoring to establish a strong foundation in endpoint detection and log aggregation.

• Hypervisor: VMware Workstation Pro
• Primary SIEM / XDR: Wazuh
• Endpoint: Windows 11 Evaluation (Victim)
• Offense: Kali Linux (Attacker)

Project Directory

Phase 1: Foundation & Open-Source Security (Wazuh)

• Project 1: Architecting the Lab & Deploying Wazuh
• Project 2: Sysmon Integration and Endpoint Visibility
• Project 3: Advanced Command & Control (C2) Operations & Threat Hunting

Phase 2: Enterprise Security (Splunk Roadmap)

As the lab matures, I will be migrating the core logging infrastructure to Splunk Enterprise to practice SPL (Search Processing Language) and enterprise-grade threat hunting.

• Planned: Splunk Deployment & Wazuh Log Forwarding
• Planned: Malware Execution & Advanced Correlation in Splunk
