About

👨‍💻 Me? I break things legally web apps, networks, Active Directory environments, and sometimes my own assumptions. My core focus is offensive security: penetration testing, red teaming, and vulnerability assessment, with digital forensics and detection engineering in the mix when investigations demand it. Burp Suite, Nmap, Nessus, SQLMap, and Kali Linux are part of my daily workflow. I cut my teeth doing VAPT engagements for enterprise and SEBI-regulated financial clients at TechDefence Labs, chasing down authentication weaknesses, privilege escalation paths, and misconfigurations across web and network environments then spent time in Gujarat Police's Cyber Cell building forensic workflows where chain-of-custody and evidence integrity actually matter. What interests me most about offensive security isn't just exploitation it's understanding how systems, people, and decisions fail under pressure. To keep that muscle sharp between engagements, I built CorpSim, a personal multi-domain Active Directory lab spanning two forests and 19 VMs, for attack simulation and detection engineering practice. ⚔️ Offensive security is where I'm strongest. 🔍 Curiosity keeps me moving. I'm also active on Hack The Box (Level 47, 30+ machines) and hold certifications including CRTA, CRT-ID, CNSP, and TCM's Practical Ethical Hacking. My blog is where I document wins, failures, lessons, and everything in between. — r00t-hunter
