Atharva Dave

I’m an enthusiastic, highly motivated cybersecurity professional passionate about penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. I’m currently working as a Penetrationtesting intern at DigiWork Online Services & Consultancy LLP, performing VAPT on web applications and networks in Pune. My focus is on identifying and exploiting real weaknesses based on OWASP Top 10—SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF, and IDOR—then validating results to reduce false positives.

I approach security work with strong ethical hacking fundamentals and a documentation-driven mindset. I use tools like BurpSuite, Nmap, OpenVAS/GVM, Nikto, and Metasploit for scanning and exploitation, and I produce detailed reports with risk levels, impact, and remediation steps. I’m also building toward a Junior Penetration Tester role through INE Security’s eJPT learning path and penetration testing training, along with hands-on practice using Kali Linux, Metasploit, BurpSuite, and Nmap.
