Gabriel Reis Santos Cybersecurity

Offense by
curiosity.
Defense by
design.

I pull systems apart to understand what holds them together.

Elsewhere

Follow the process.

Technical notes, hands-on labs, collaboration and the code behind my projects.

Selected work

Not just what I know.
What I build.

Projects with technical depth, clear tradeoffs and reproducible reasoning—across network infrastructure, security operations and interactive learning.

Infrastructure / Lab

Proxmox Cluster Security Lab

A segmented multi-node security lab built to support SOC workflows, hostile-zone testing, malware research isolation, and controlled adversary simulation.

Infrastructure / Homelab

CyberLab — Proxmox Cyber Range

My segmented homelab and network-security test environment: Proxmox VE, OPNsense, Cisco SG300, WireGuard access and a sandbox extension.

Cyber Academy

You don’t really learn a system
until you break it.

Learn concepts, make mistakes in synthetic environments, investigate their consequences and test whether your fixes actually work.

Browser-based simulations, not live infrastructure or active exploitation.

ACADEMY / MISSION WORKFLOW DEMO

01 EXPLORE Map assets and trust boundaries.

02 BREAK Introduce a controlled fault.

03 INVESTIGATE Follow packets, logs and evidence.

04 DEFEND Fix the configuration.

✓ VALIDATE: Does the fix preserve least privilege?

Reports & write-ups

Evidence over
assumptions.

Research, technical reporting, presentations and documented investigations. Built to be read, reviewed and questioned.

About

Curiosity is the start.
Engineering is the answer.

My background combines operations, leadership and technical work. I care about building things that are useful, explainable and operationally real—not just impressive on a slide.

Live activity

Global threat telemetry

Third-party live threat map for situational context. Data is supplied by Kaspersky; it is not telemetry from my personal labs.
