Ayesha Ali

I’m an Offensive Security Certified Professional Plus (OSCP+) with 3+ years of hands-on experience in web application, API, Active Directory, cloud, and infrastructure penetration testing. I focus on finding real attack paths—not just isolated bugs—and translating them into actionable, risk-prioritized remediation.

In my current role as a Penetration Tester, I lead full-cycle engagements for enterprise clients, uncovering sophisticated attack chains across web apps, REST APIs, mobile platforms, and infrastructure. I also run Active Directory security assessments, simulating threat actor tactics like lateral movement and privilege escalation, with attack path mapping to highlight critical weaknesses.

My testing approach is structured and evidence-driven: I validate issues like SQLi, XSS, CSRF, IDOR, SSRF, broken authentication, and session management flaws using tools such as Burp Suite Pro, OWASP ZAP, and SQLMap. I provide CVSS-scored reports with clear reproduction steps and developer-ready guidance tailored for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

I complement corporate testing with an active bug bounty track record on YesWeHack and Standoff365, specializing in auth bypasses, business logic vulnerabilities, and API misconfigurations that scanners often miss. I’ve also built strong results in international CTFs and received Hall of Fame recognition from companies including Google, Pinterest, and OPPO.
