Professional Summary
My name is Younes Boussedari, a cybersecurity student with a strong focus on Penetration Testing and offensive security.
I specialize in identifying security weaknesses through structured testing methodologies, simulating real-world attacks, and analyzing how systems fail under adversarial conditions.
Beyond exploitation, I am equally interested in how attacks are detected, investigated, and mitigated, which allows me to bridge the gap between Red Team activities and SOC operations.
My objective is to help organizations understand their real attack surface, reduce risk, and improve their security posture before threats turn into incidents.
