Welcome to my GitHub portfolio. I’m Max Moody, a Cyber Security Analyst with a passion for ethical hacking, network defense, and proactive threat mitigation. I specialize in penetration testing, DDoS protection, OSINT investigations, and building advanced security tools on Linux platforms.

• Cyber Security Analyst: Adept at identifying vulnerabilities and implementing countermeasures to safeguard critical infrastructures.
• Penetration Testing & Network Scanning: Skilled in using industry-standard tools and custom-developed scanners to evaluate network security, including expertise in OSINT to gather actionable intelligence.
• DDoS Mitigation & Defense: Experienced in developing strategies to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks using cutting-edge techniques and platforms such as Cloudflare.
• Linux Systems & Automation: Passionate about leveraging Linux environments (Ubuntu, Kali Linux, Arch Linux) to create streamlined and secure automation workflows.

• Programming & Scripting: Python, Bash
• Security Tools: Metasploit, Nmap, Burp Suite, Wireshark
• OSINT & Data Analysis: Advanced OSINT techniques for social media and public data investigation
• Network Scanning: Custom network scanners and utilities for threat detection and vulnerability assessment
• Cloud & Web Security: Practical experience with Cloudflare configurations and other DDoS protection methodologies

• Open-Ollama-Scanner
  A sophisticated network scanner leveraging masscan to identify and evaluate active Ollama instances across the internet, enhancing threat detection capabilities.

• BT-Phonebook-Lookup
  A robust UK whitepages alternative that utilizes the BT Phonebook and ripgrep for quick and efficient data extraction from PDFs. This tool is designed for rapid intelligence gathering in OSINT investigations.

• VSE-UDP-Amplification-Scanner
  A proof-of-concept utility demonstrating the use of Valve Source Engine servers as a vector for UDP DDoS amplification, underscoring practical experience in both offensive and defensive cybersecurity strategies.

• Additional Projects:

  • Cloudflare-DDOS-Protection: Implements strategies for ASN blocking, geoblocking, and other techniques to secure web assets via Cloudflare.
  • kittysint: A basic OSINT tool designed for aggregating social media data linked to a username.
  • Site-Cloner: Uses Selenium to create 1-to-1 webpage clones for security analysis and testing.

• Advanced Penetration Testing: Engaging in Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges and real-world scenarios to refine my ethical hacking skills.
• Innovative DDoS Mitigation: Researching and developing new approaches for detecting and mitigating large-scale DDoS attacks on both traditional and cloud infrastructures.
• OSINT & Network Scanning: Expanding my suite of tools for OSINT and network scanning to provide deeper insights into emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
• Security Automation: Building automated workflows on Linux to streamline security operations and incident response.

I hope you enjoy looking at my projects I have worked on!
