Purposely Vulnerable Virtual Machines
[2023 Mar - Oct]
Developed virtual machines designed for penetration testing as educational resources.
Developed Skills:
- Pen-Testing
- Virtualisation
- Linux Development
- Educational Resource Development
These virtual machines were deployed in a custom-built cyber range at Curtin University and used by students for the Penetration Testing and Defence unit.
Similar to the VMs developed in VulnHub.
Australian STEM Video Game Challenge
[2017]
Developed a video game that won the Australian STEM Video Game Challenge.
Developed Skills:
- Programming (Used GML, a language similar to JavaScript)
- Graphic Design
- Game Development
- Project Management
The game was called "Cube Runner" (art above). I built the game in my early high-school years using the GameMaker engine.
It won the competition under the "Years 5-8: Playable game developed in GameMaker" category.
Virtualised Industrial Control Systems - ICS-SimLab
[2024 Feb - 2025 Nov]
Developed custom software (called ICS-SimLab) to simulate Industrial Control Systems using containerisation.
This environment simulated:
- Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
- Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs)
- Sensors
- Actuators
- Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Modules
This project was published in IEEE.
Refer to the GitHub for the full code and documentation.
The primary purpose of this software was to simulate cyber-attacks on a simulated SCADA system and to collect network data to build an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) using modern AI techniques.
