Web security & network systems
Security work starts by understanding what a system exposes, which components it trusts and how those assumptions behave in practice. Knowledge of web security and networking also informs how I inspect and build digital experiences.
How I approach it
Within an agreed scope, I use browser developer tools, Linux, Wireshark and OWASP concepts to examine application behavior and network traffic. I look for observable issues in how data is handled, requests are made and components communicate, then document steps that make a finding reproducible. This is practical inspection and analysis; conclusions stay within the evidence available and the boundaries of the review.
A focused review can clarify how a web application behaves, surface areas that may need further attention and provide developers with concrete steps to investigate or address them. Network analysis can help explain communication between components and troubleshoot unexpected behavior. Findings are most useful when they state the conditions, evidence and limitations clearly.
What I can help with
- Scoped web application behavior inspection
- OWASP-informed checks and security observations
- Network traffic inspection with Wireshark
- Reproducible findings and developer-focused guidance

Frequently asked questions
Is this a penetration test?
No. This is scoped inspection and analysis: examining how an application behaves and documenting reproducible findings, within agreed boundaries, not an authorised breach attempt.
What do I receive at the end?
Reproducible findings with evidence and conditions, plus developer-focused guidance on what to investigate or address next.
Can you fix what you find?
Findings clarify where attention is needed; the fixes belong to your development team. I can help prioritise and advise on the steps.
