National Telecommunication Institute (NTI)
Training in offensive security fundamentals using Kali Linux, including reconnaissance, scanning, and vulnerability identification. Applying networking fundamentals (CCNA) to understand attack surfaces and traffic behavior during security assessments.
National Telecommunication Institute (NTI)
Built an end-to-end FortiGate-Active Directory identity-based authentication lab, verifying live FSSO session tests. Configured FortiGate firewalls with Active Directory (LDAP/FSSO) integration for identity-based network access control, resolving authentication and authorization issues for NTI's network access. Successfully integrated FortiGate with Active Directory for 100+ users, enhancing security and access control.

Chapter 07 — Off the record
I'm Mohamed Sayed Ahmed Abdalla, a Cybersecurity-track student at the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence, Menoufia University. I'm passionate about penetration testing and network security, and I'm currently training at the National Telecommunication Institute (NTI) on two tracks: the first in using Kali Linux for reconnaissance, scanning, and vulnerability identification, and the second in configuring Fortinet FortiGate firewalls integrated with Active Directory via LDAP and FSSO to build identity-based access control systems. I have a programming background in C++ and Python, and I hold a Network Infrastructure Training certificate from NTI & ITIDA. My goal is to keep growing as a professional Penetration Tester, and I'm looking for an opportunity to apply my skills hands-on in a real work environment.
That's a wrap.
