I hunt bugs, break web apps, dig into APIs, and report real security issues. Mostly into web security and bug bounty.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a cybersecurity researcher and bug bounty hunter mainly into web and API security. Most of my time goes into manually testing applications, digging through API requests, authentication flows and JavaScript, and trying to figure out what can actually be abused. I’ve found issues like account takeover, IDOR/BOLA, SSRF, exposed PII, credentials, OTPs and other sensitive data.
What I enjoy most is taking a small finding and digging deeper to see where it leads. I like understanding how an application works rather than just throwing scanners at it. I’m looking to keep growing in penetration testing and vulnerability research and get more hands-on experience with real-world applications and security problems.
