0x01 / About me

Hello! I'm Mohd Faraz Khan.

break it to understand it.

I'm a Computer Science and IT student at MJPRU Bareilly who learns by taking things apart. Networks, phishing links, job posts, repair bills: I want to know what's really going on underneath, and then build a tool that shows it to everyone else.

My focus is cybersecurity and networking. I write Python that inspects DNS, certificates and packets, I built a free cybersecurity curriculum, and I care about software that refuses to overclaim.

Skills in orbit

Security sits at the centre. Everything else I use orbits around it: the tools that let me inspect a system, then the ones that let me build a better one.

0x03 / Networking

Taking systems apart. Building safer ones.

Every request you make crosses this planet in milliseconds, through routers, DNS lookups and handshakes most people never see. That hidden path is what I study.

0x04 / On the wire

One request, four envelopes.

Before a single byte reaches the cable, your browser's request gets wrapped by each layer of the network stack. Scroll to watch one HTTP request get packed for the wire.

  1. L7ApplicationThe request itself
  2. L4TransportTCP adds ports and ordering
  3. L3NetworkIP adds where it is going
  4. L2Data linkEthernet adds the next hop and a checksum

On the wire: 16 bytes

0x05 / Shell

Don't read about me. Query me.

A small terminal with real answers. ping measures your actual round trip to this server, and headers shows the security headers this page was served with. Type help, or tap a command.
