Mahima Jaikanth Email & Phone Number

The real world has enough to worry about, let's make the digital one a safer place.Exploring vulnerabilities is my cup of chai. I love analyzing adversarial attacks, reproducing and demonstrating unique security weaknesses and creating solutions to different threat models. My project experiences range from validating security through penetration testing to utilizing machine learning to classify malware on a CLAMP Dataset.During my academic career, I have been building my understanding of exploit implementation and utilizing industry testing applications to perform in-depth analysis of malicious data. Some notable projects I worked on include:- An Intuitive Requirement Evaluator (ASPIRE) | A password strength application that implements a spelling correction algorithm to derive a more secure and memorable key- Shellshock Penetration Testing | A CGI attack program in Bash, that is able to exploit many systems on a remote web server verified through a reverse shell using Metasploit- Malware Classification using ML | A python script that is able to pre-process data utilizing One Hot encoding and implementing supervised and unsupervised learning models to predict target malware analysisAs an alumnus of SWE (Society of Women Engineers), I am committed to help close the gender gap in the engineering workforce and diversify the tech industry.I am excited to be in the market for threat analysis and cybersecurity analyst or consultant opportunities.
