About Nizar

Independent consultant in networks, VoIP/ToIP, and cybersecurity, I cover a rare combination on the market: voice and data, from the SIP protocol to infrastructure security.

On the voice side, I intervene in SIP/ToIP interoperability validation and operator trunk diagnostics (SIP, RTP, SDP), with detailed Wireshark analysis and compliance checks against operator specifications.

I have applied this expertise to a wide variety of IPBX systems: Asterisk, 3CX, Wildix, Alcatel OXE/OXO, Mitel, Avaya, Wazo, which allows me to adapt quickly to the client's environment rather than depending on a single technology.

On the security side, I harden firewalls (pfSense, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Stormshield, Cisco ASA), deploy ELK/PFELK SIEMs with Suricata IDS, and assist in making network infrastructures compliant: VLAN, QoS, site-to-site VPN, Active Directory, VMware virtualization.

I also enjoy automating what can be automated: diagnostic scripts, report generation, local AI integration to speed up analysis without exposing client data.

The objective is always the same: save time on repetitive tasks to focus on what requires real expertise.

Regularly practicing CTFs and offensive challenges (Root-Me, TryHackMe top 3%), I maintain an active watch on current threats.

Available for one-off or recurring missions, in the Île-de-France region or remotely.
