Investigations & evidence analysis

Uncertainty is part of the record.

This branch applies evidence hierarchy, provenance review, competing hypotheses, and confidence discipline to difficult historical material.

Working prototype

nmap-llm

Python → Nmap → XML → local LLM → report. An offline working prototype for scan planning, execution, parsing, and local-LLM-assisted triage reporting.

[01]

Infrastructure

NodeZero demonstrates Linux and self-hosted infrastructure documentation, security posture analysis, and recovery planning.

[02]

Security tooling

nmap-llm provides direct Python implementation evidence for a bounded scanning workflow.

[03]

Assurance

ECI EVM demonstrates evidence registers, claim review packages, and traceability.

[04]

OSINT

Reconnaissance methodology describes scope and reporting practice while withholding sensitive source material.

Selected research

Research is a parallel, first-class branch.

Psychological Appropriation: A Dimensional Model of Surrogate-Moral Violence — peer-reviewed conceptual research in forensic psychology, presented with venue, method, limitations, DOI, and rights-aware full-text status.

Professional context

Assessment, systems, and documentation.

Experience includes vulnerability assessment, network segmentation support, secure-configuration baselines, and technical reporting at CSIR-NEERI. An MSc in Cyber Security provides the academic foundation; public work shows how that practice is applied.
