SecForge is a collection of practical cybersecurity and blue team engineering projects focused on detection, analysis, and defensive security automation.
This repository demonstrates hands-on implementations of core security concepts including cryptography, threat intelligence, intrusion detection, secure system design, and vulnerability assessment.
Each project is designed to simulate real-world security problems and provide working defensive solutions.
Implements classical cryptanalysis using frequency distribution to automatically break Caesar cipher encrypted text.
Concepts covered:
- Substitution ciphers
- Frequency analysis
- Basic cryptography principles
Analyzes password strength and validates compliance with security policies.
Concepts covered:
- Password entropy
- Policy enforcement
- Secure input validation
Detects the real file type using magic numbers instead of relying on file extensions.
Concepts covered:
- Binary signature analysis
