Muntazir Mehdi — Cyber Security Researcher

Hello! I’m Muntazir, a Cybersecurity graduate currently working as an IT Support Specialist. I enjoy building, securing, and experimenting with technology, and I’m driven by a desire to understand how systems connect and how to protect them.

Since graduating, I’ve been gaining hands-on experience in IT support — assisting users, managing systems, and learning the real-world side of infrastructure and security. I’m also pursuing the CPTS certification on Hack The Box and building my own homelab, where I explore tools, containerize services, and automate secure self-hosted environments.

Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:
  • Windows & Linux administration
  • Active Directory & Microsoft 365
  • Docker & virtualization
  • Network configuration & troubleshooting
  • Scripting for repeatable fixes (PowerShell/Bash)
