DARSHAN SONAWANE

I’m a B.Tech Cyber Security student building hands-on skills across Linux, WAPT, Wireshark, and Nmap, while focusing on practical security work. I’m especially motivated by investigations that turn digital evidence into clear findings.

In my Cyber Security Intern role at CID Cyber Crime, Gandhinagar, I supported cybercrime officers with digital forensics, including device imaging, evidence handling, and chain-of-custody procedures. I helped trace digital footprints in cyber fraud cases and performed data extraction and mobile forensics using UFED and related tools.

My project work matches the same mindset: I developed an RFID/NFC cloner/scanner setup using Arduino and RC522 modules to demonstrate how vulnerabilities can be understood at a fundamental level. For application security, I conducted ERP role-based authentication security testing with Postman and manual checks for input validation and session/access weaknesses.

I continue sharpening my offensive security foundation through CTF labs, ethical hacking events like B-Sides Dehradun, and cybersecurity workshops in ethical hacking and digital forensics. I bring strong teamwork, clear communication, and a problem-solving approach to every investigation and test.
