About
Hussain is a Cybersecurity undergraduate at Air University, Islamabad, focused on offensive security research, malware development and analysis, and security tool engineering. His work spans hands-on tool development across Windows internals, wireless security, and vulnerability assessment, alongside a Summer 2025 internship contributing to DSOC, an AI-assisted SOC/SIEM platform, at Dassoft / SiberKoza / NASTP. He is also active in the CTF community as both a participant and a challenge developer. Outside of security research, Hussain runs a freelance technology practice across Islamabad and Rawalpindi — installing and repairing CCTV systems and smart-home devices, and managing networking for homes and small businesses — and works part-time as a sound operator at WHO events. His long-term goal is to build a company at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI.
