SecByArafai

I’m Faith Akerele, also known as SecByArafai, a cybersecurity student focused on Blue Team operations. My work centres around network defense, intrusion detection, and malware traffic analysis.

I build and manage realistic home lab environments where I simulate attacks, investigate incidents, and produce structured SOC-style reports to develop practical detection and response skills.

Alongside defensive security, I explore Red Team fundamentals such as basic penetration testing and vulnerability scanning to better understand attacker behaviour and strengthen my defensive approach.

I regularly use tools including Wireshark, Zeek, Snort, Splunk, Nmap, and Kali Linux, and I document my work to reflect real-world security workflows.

I’m currently working towards a junior SOC analyst or incident response role, where I can apply my hands-on skills and continue learning in a real-world environment.
