Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking student at Coventry University. Focused on malware analysis, penetration testing, and building security tools that matter.
I'm Rajan Bhatta, a cybersecurity student based in Kathmandu, Nepal, studying for my Bachelor's at Coventry University through Softwarica College.
My main interest is Malware Analysis — understanding how malicious software behaves, persists, and evades detection in isolated lab environments. I pair this with hands-on Penetration Testing and Digital Forensics through real projects and continuous self-study.
I regularly work through CTF challenges, practice Linux privilege escalation, and explore low-level concepts like buffer overflows and heap exploitation. I want to understand systems deeply enough to both break and secure them.
Studying malware behavior in fully isolated VM environments. Static analysis covers PE headers, file structure, and strings. Dynamic analysis includes process behavior monitoring, network calls, and registry changes. Documenting persistence mechanisms and obfuscation techniques found in real-world samples.

View on GitHubFrom concept to deployment: how I built this portfolio with a focus on performance, accessibility, and a smooth user experience. Covers the design decisions, tech stack choices, and optimisations that keep the site lag‑free.
I built a Python-based Intrusion Detection System using regex signature matching and basic anomaly detection — and learned a ton about network traffic, false positives, and alert fatigue along the way. This post covers the architecture decisions, the mistakes I made, and how I added an SMTP email alert system that actually works.
Open to penetration testing internships, security research collaborations, and CTF team opportunities. Based in Kathmandu — available for remote work worldwide.
