// Hello, World! I'm

afiqers

Cybersecurity student with hands-on experience in CTF competitions, web application security testing, and network analysis. Passionate about offensive security and threat detection.

Who Am I?

I'm a Cybersecurity student at Universiti Utara Malaysia, currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a CGPA of 3.71. My journey in cybersecurity began with a curiosity for how systems can be broken — and more importantly, how they can be defended.

I thrive in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, where I've honed my skills in web exploitation, network forensics, and vulnerability assessment. I'm ranked in the Top 4% globally on TryHackMe with 120+ completed labs, and I'm a champion of the NERaCA 3.0 CTF.

My focus areas span offensive security, red teaming, and building tools that make the digital world safer.
