Engineering student with an offensive mindset and passion for Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Assessment, and Web Security. Actively building hands-on experience through lab exploitation, network auditing, and CTF challenges.
I am an Information Science Engineering student at MVJ College of Engineering, Bengaluru, specializing in Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing.
My core foundation revolves around computer networking protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, OSI stack), Linux administration, and modern vulnerability identification techniques using Kali Linux, Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark, and Metasploit.
I actively practice identifying web application security loopholes aligned with the OWASP Top 10 standard—including SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and broken authentication vectors. I am driven to secure modern digital infrastructures by understanding adversary tactics.
JR. PENETRATION TESTER
Core industry-standard utilities used for network enumeration, interception, and exploitation.
Vulnerability assessment based on the OWASP Top 10 framework and web exploit testing.
Hands-on experience navigating and securing multi-platform OS environments.
Deep comprehension of networking packets, packet sniffing, and routing infrastructure.
Writing scripts for automation, data extraction, and vulnerability reproduction.
Managing security scripts, documentation, and collaborating through Git repositories.
Executed structured host discovery, port scanning, service version detection, and OS fingerprinting using Nmap in authorized lab environments.
Utilized Kali Linux offensive tools to assess vulnerable machines and pinpoint exploitable configuration flaws.
Intercepted and modified HTTP/HTTPS client-server requests with Burp Suite to identify injection flaws and auth bypasses.
Captured and analyzed raw network traffic using Wireshark to diagnose protocol anomalies and understand packet structures.
Participated in hands-on Capture The Flag (CTF) security exercises to sharpen offensive reasoning and exploitation techniques.
Standard 5-phase methodology applied during penetration testing practice:
