Hi, I’m Danny Stephens! I’m a passionate cybersecurity enthusiast with experience in penetration testing, vulnerability research, and threat analysis. I’m always looking to learn and grow in the cybersecurity space, and I love solving challenges, especially in CTFs.
When I’m not exploring the latest vulnerabilities, you can find me building tools, writing research notes, and taking on new certification challenges.

Certificate demonstrating knowledge and skills required to identify and explain the basics of computing, IT infrastructure, application and software, software development, database fundamentals, and security.
Static Intrusion Detection System
A Python script analyzes IDS log data to detect suspicious activities like high packet rates, SSH brute force attempts, port scanning, and MAC spoofing within 5-minute windows. It prints alerts for these events while avoiding duplicates and uses customizable port-based thresholds from a CSV file.
Password Strength Checker
A Python script that evaluates the strength of a password by analyzing its length, complexity, repetition patterns, and presence in a common password list, then scores it and gives feedback.
