Min Raj Gurung

Bridging the gap between financial strategy and systems architecture.

I've been navigating the IT landscape since 2000, spending twelve years as an IT Officer before bringing an analytical mindset to finance. As a Finance Officer today, I lead digital transformation work, such as moving paper vouchers onto a cloud pipeline.

Outside work, I explore the offensive side of cybersecurity, build home labs, and ride the trails around Kathmandu Valley.

GOAD: Game of Active Directory

A full Active Directory pentesting range built on Proxmox.

I use it to practice NTLM relay attacks, lateral movement and privilege escalation against a realistic multi-domain forest. It's also my training ground for HTB CPTS.
