Harsh Menaria
@harshmenaria
Security Engineer focused on penetration testing and cloud/web application defenses.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Security Engineer specializing in penetration testing, web application security, and cloud security. I actively hunt vulnerabilities on live web applications using OWASP Top 10 methodology—covering IDOR, XSS, SSRF, and authentication flaws—and run full bug hunting cycles from recon to responsible disclosure.
Alongside bug bounty work, I practice web exploitation, privilege escalation, and red team ops through TryHackMe, and I’ve strengthened my security thinking through risk assessments and security recommendations in a PwC Switzerland simulation. My experience also includes an internship where I reduced system vulnerabilities by 30% via hardened security protocols and attack surface management, plus hands-on projects like a hardened Docker-based AWS EC2 lab and DNS tunneling attack research.
