Hello! I’m Muntazir, a Cybersecurity graduate currently working as an IT Support Analyst. I am building my career path toward Offensive Security, driven by the belief that deep knowledge of infrastructure and defense is the prerequisite for effective exploitation.
In my current role, I am gaining hands-on experience with enterprise systems and troubleshooting. I complement this operational foundation by actively training for the CPTS certification and conducting security research in self-hosted environments, where I simulate attack vectors and test advanced methodologies.
Delivered first‑line support, fixed common hardware/software issues, set up new PCs, installed and updated applications, ensured systems were secure, and handled account management (create/disable/reset passwords). Logged support requests and escalated complex problems to senior IT staff.
Performed vulnerability assessments and penetration testing on APU lab devices, identified and resolved vulnerabilities, and delivered clear reports with findings and remediation steps.
Deployed and supported lab PCs, imaged devices, configured standard accounts, troubleshot hardware and software issues, and created documentation and user guides for the APU Knowledgebase.
