Hi, I’m Noor Elahi Ali Shibly, a software engineering graduate with a strong focus on cybersecurity and penetration testing.

My path into security didn’t start in a lab — it started with design. I began my tech journey as a graphic designer and Envato Author, which taught me attention to detail and how systems are structured visually. At university, that curiosity evolved into programming, where I built desktop applications using Java Swing and web applications with Spring Boot. Over time, I became more interested in what happens under the hood — and eventually, how systems fail.

That curiosity led me into ethical hacking, network security, and digital defense. I spend most of my time working in lab-based and virtual environments, testing systems, analyzing vulnerabilities, and learning how real-world attacks work. I regularly use tools like Kali Linux, Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark, and Python-based scripts to automate and understand security workflows.

I’ve also had the opportunity to gain hands-on exposure to enterprise security assessments through training with Mohammad Shahadat Hossain, Principal Security Architect at Grameenphone Ltd., where I worked on TCP/SSL vulnerability assessments, identifying issues such as deprecated TLS configurations and SWEET32 vulnerabilities.

My current interests include offensive security, vulnerability assessment, network and cloud security, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security. I enjoy breaking down complex security problems, documenting what I learn, and building small tools and labs that connect theory with real systems.

I believe strong security starts with understanding how software is built — and how it can be misused. That mindset continues to guide how I learn, test, and improve as a security practitioner.
