Shankha Das
Blue Team Security
CSE graduate specialising in Security Operations, threat detection, and network defence. I build security tools in Python, think in triage logic, and translate structured coordination experience into SOC-ready instincts.
01 / About
Who I am
I'm a Computer Science and Engineering graduate from Bankura Unnayani Institute of Engineering (2026) with a dedicated Blue Team focus. My interest in cybersecurity is practical — I've built Python security tools, studied SOC workflows in depth, and earned certifications from Google, Palo Alto Networks, and Fortinet to ensure that interest translates directly into employable skills.
Technical focus
Threat detection, log analysis, network traffic monitoring, and vulnerability assessment across Linux and Windows. Hands-on with Wireshark, Nmap, Snort, Burp Suite, and Kali Linux. Familiar with SIEM concepts and alert triage workflows.
Beyond the terminal
Official college Graphic Designer and Fest Main Coordinator — managing 30+ volunteers across 8 sub-teams. Good security operations demands the same structured decision-making under pressure.
Looking for
Entry-level SOC Analyst (L1), Cybersecurity Analyst, or IT Testing roles — in-person or hybrid, anywhere in India. Available for 24/7 rotational shifts. Immediate joining post-graduation.

What I've built
Packet Sniffer
Captures and parses live TCP/IP network traffic across multiple protocols, reading packet headers, source/destination IPs, and payload data. Built around the same triage logic an L1 SOC analyst applies — baseline the normal, flag the anomalous, escalate the threat. Covers protocol identification, manual triage, and detection of unexpected connections and protocol misuse.
Port Scanner
Classifies ports as open, closed, or filtered across standard TCP/UDP ranges and compares results against expected service configurations to identify unauthorised exposure. Reinforces perimeter security fundamentals — asset inventory, baseline management, and hardening — producing CVE-relevant findings for remediation prioritisation.
Caesar Cipher Implementation
A configurable encryption and decryption tool using shift-based substitution, paired with structured analysis of classical cipher weaknesses — frequency analysis susceptibility, brute-force attack surfaces — as a reference for understanding modern cryptographic standards and why weak algorithms surface in OWASP Top 10 and CVE advisories.

Where I've contributed
AUG 2024 – JUL 2025
Main Coordinator, Annual College Fest
Bankura Unnayani Institute of Engineering
Managed 30+ volunteers across 8 sub-teams over a 6-week planning cycle, delivering a 2-day event with zero operational issues. Identified responsibility gaps mid-planning and reassigned tasks to maintain timeline integrity — the same structured triage thinking that makes a good SOC analyst effective under alert queue pressure.
AUG 2024 – JUL 2025
Official Graphic Designer
Bankura Unnayani Institute of Engineering
Designed 20+ posters, banners, and social media graphics for college events; edited promotional videos for 3+ major events. Created reusable design templates that eliminated repeat revision cycles — an approach to reducing toil that maps directly to SOC runbook and automation thinking.
