About

Hi, I’m Muhammad Zubair

I’m an Offensive Security Professional with 3+ years of hands-on experience in penetration testing, and red team operations. OSCP-certified and currently advancing in malware development to simulate advanced persistent threats.

My Journey

My path into IT and cybersecurity didn’t start in a classroom. It started with games. I was that kid who couldn’t just play. I needed to know how everything worked behind the scenes. That curiosity pushed me into game development, and that’s where I wrote my first lines of code.

A friend eventually introduced me to cybersecurity, and honestly, it was love at first sight. The challenge, the problem-solving, the adrenaline, it all clicked. From that moment, I dove in headfirst.

I enrolled in a Cybersecurity degree at university, but financial hurdles and the weak cybersecurity curriculum in Pakistan held me back. Still, I wasn’t stopping. I stumbled onto TryHackMe, then HackTheBox, and that opened an entire universe for me. I pushed through CPTS, then OSCP, countless restless days and nights, but all fueled by passion, not pressure.

And it paid off. I landed my first cybersecurity role as an Information Security Engineer, and I’m still learning, still growing, and still doing it for the love of the game.

My Resume

I’ve created two industry-standard training courses featuring 20+ custom hands-on labs built on AWS and Proxmox, and I’ve delivered these trainings internationally. In my current role, I actively work on penetration testing projects, staying sharp through real-world assessments as well as platforms like HackTheBox and various CTF challenges.

I also write regularly on Medium and my personal site, where I break down security concepts and share practical guidance to help others level up in cybersecurity.
