About Me

Cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and real-world attack simulation. Currently pursuing MCA in Cyber Security, with strong practical exposure through Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges and boot-to-root labs.

I have solved 100+ CTF challenges across platforms like TryHackMe and VulnHub, focusing on privilege escalation, web exploitation, and system enumeration. My approach is highly practical, emphasizing real-world attack scenarios rather than just theoretical knowledge.

I have also developed security-focused tools including CipherHide (an advanced steganography tool with AES encryption) and a malware detection system based on file signatures and bypass techniques. I actively document my findings through technical write-ups to contribute to the cybersecurity community.
