I am currently a Final year Computer Science and Engineering Student at IET DAVV, Indore. I have had a passion for Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking since 3 years now and am continuosly looking to grow and get better. Always looking for opportunities to gain exposure and hands on experience in the industry and make valuable contributions in securing the digital world.
I am part of YCF's CTF Development and hosting team, for organizing University and Organisation based CTF Competitions. I contribute challenges over a wide range of categories such as Web Application Security, Steganography, OSINT, Binary Exploitation, and Digital Forensics. I have created over 30 challenges for CTFs which include:
I have performed VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) on several VDPs and have discovered and reported security vulnerabilities to the organizations and websites. Some of the organizations that I have secured are:
OnePass is a secure Password Management tool for Unix-Based Systems. It is developed using Python and has features for all your password services to ensure digital safety and make password management a breeze.

Successfully passed the CNSP Exam with Merit. This exam by the SecOps Group, checks the understanding of core fundamentals in relation to network security topics. It also tests the knowledge of common security misconfigurations, the best security practices, defense-in-depth measures as well as an overview of how vulnerabilities can be exploited in the real world scenario.
Finalist at IIT Bombay's Trust Lab's Nation-wide CTF where the Finale was held at the campus of IIT Bombay itself. My team was part of the top 50 teams that were shortlisted among 800 teams in the First round which was held online.
Secured the First Rank in the CloudSEK Global Hiring CTF first online round out of 600 participants. It was a challenging competition which enhanced my skills and encouraged solving CTF challenges at a good pace.
Secured a place in NASA's Hall of Fame for discovering a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (XSS) which can lead to session hijacking of a logged in user/admin on one of their subdomains. The vulnerability was marked as P3 Priority and has now been resolved.
Secured 8th rank among 240 participants in the VulnX CTF 2024, featuring unique challenges that brought new concepts to light. An enjoyable experience overall.
I have won the KOTH tournament in TryHackMe where we have to compete with 5 other players to attack and defend a single Machine and maintain root access for the longest duration. We also have to keep capturing flags along the way and patch the virtual machine's vulnerabilities to ensure other players don't gain access or dont escalate privileges and ensure your persistence as root.
Successfully completed the 24-day Advent of Cyber 2023 challenge from TryHackMe. This intensive program featured daily cybersecurity challenges across a variety of categories, encompassing both Red Teaming and Blue Teaming disciplines.
