Muni Dinesh Kommanagunta — security operations, hands on.
Cybersecurity Professional with ~2 years of experience in a production security environment
Cybersecurity professional with production experience in SIEM monitoring and incident response, EDR administration, Data Loss Prevention, and Privileged Access Management in a SEBI- and RBI-regulated financial services environment. I investigate incidents end to end, tune detections, and translate technical findings into decisions leadership can act on — and I run a self-built detection lab (Proxmox · Pi-hole · Splunk) to keep sharpening those skills. M.S. in Cybersecurity, Lewis University.
Building a Home SIEM: Pi-hole → Splunk DNS Log Pipeline
Shipping every DNS query on my network into Splunk over syslog, extracting fields with regex, and building a DNS telemetry dashboard — blocked vs. allowed activity, top domains, and per-client query patterns.
Proxmox VE Homelab Build: One Box, a Whole Security Stack
Turning a $150 Dell OptiPlex 7070 SFF into a virtualization host running the whole detection stack — Pi-hole in a lightweight LXC container, Splunk Enterprise in a full VM, with headroom for what’s next.
Flashing OpenWrt on a Netgear R6220 — via Telnet, When the Web UI Says No
Netgear’s stock firmware blocked the normal OpenWrt install path, so I flashed it the hard way: unlocking the hidden Telnet console and writing the squashfs kernel and rootfs images directly to the flash partitions with mtd_write.
Secure Remote Access: Tailscale Subnet Routing + Cloudflare Zero Trust
Two complementary paths into the lab with zero inbound ports: a WireGuard-based Tailscale overlay that routes the whole lab subnet, and Cloudflare Tunnel + Access for identity-verified, browser-only access to individual dashboards.
