About me
I break systems to understand them and secure them better. I am a cybersecurity researcher, penetration tester, and red teamer focused on real-world exploitation, OSINT, and adversary simulation across web and network environments. My work spans uncovering vulnerabilities through structured attack paths, performing threat intelligence and OSINT investigations for national-level cyber defense initiatives at the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, and strengthening security postures through hands-on assessments. Previously, I worked as a penetration tester at HackersDaddy Cybersecurity Solutions, where I conducted web application exploitation aligned with OWASP Top 10 standards. I analyze attack surfaces to identify real-world risks, with multiple responsible disclosures recognized by CERT-In and NCIIPC.
