Hi, I'm Khushi Neupane
BSc (Hons) Computer Networking and Information Security student focused on cybersecurity, cloud security, and SOC operations. I build practical security tooling, break things safely in the lab, and document what I find like it's going to a real client.
Security-minded, still early — and moving fast.
A short profile of where I'm coming from, what I'm chasing, and the corner of security I keep coming back to.
Who I am
A BSc (Hons) Computer Networking and Information Security student who enjoys understanding systems well enough to know exactly where they can break — and how to stop that from happening.
Career goals
Looking for a cybersecurity internship or entry-level Security Analyst role where I can grow inside a SOC, sharpen incident response skills, and work on real detection and response problems.
What I'm into
Cloud security, SOC operations, incident response, AI security, and threat detection — with hands-on practice through TryHackMe, PortSwigger, and lab-based vulnerability assessments.
Tools and technologies I work with
Self-rated proficiency across networking, offensive tooling, cloud, and the fundamentals underneath all of it.

Hands-on security work
Labs, tooling, and assessments built to practice the full loop — find it, prove it, report it.
Python Network Scanner
CompletedA custom-built network scanning tool written in Python to discover live hosts, open ports, and running services across a target network segment.
- Automated host discovery across subnets
- Cut manual scan time with multithreaded port checks
- Structured output designed for reporting and triage
Vulnerability Assessment Report
CompletedEnd-to-end vulnerability assessment of a lab environment — scanning, enumeration, CVSS-based risk rating, and a client-style findings report.
- Identified and risk-rated vulnerabilities across lab hosts
- Produced a professional, client-ready findings report
- Delivered prioritized remediation recommendations
Web Security Labs — PortSwigger
In progressHands-on exploitation and defense labs covering the OWASP Top 10 on PortSwigger's Web Security Academy.
- Completed multiple Web Security Academy lab tracks
- Practiced real-world web exploitation techniques
- Documented findings and mitigation strategies
Next Security Project
