I build malware forensics tools and solve reverse-engineering challenges for top-ranked CTF teams.
What I'm looking for
I lead forensics for Team Cryptonite, India’s #3 CTF team in 2025, competing in forensics and reverse-engineering challenges and mentoring aspiring cybersecurity practitioners.
I built PEscan, a Volatility 3 plugin that detects potentially malicious PE files in Windows memory dumps through indicators including packed executables, obfuscated imports, suspicious permissions, and known signatures. I also authored niteCTF reverse-engineering and DFIR ransomware challenges covering EDR evasion, memory analysis, registry forensics, and UAC bypass techniques.
As a research intern at IIT Guwahati, I implemented and evaluated deep reinforcement learning algorithms for secure multi-UAV wireless communication under jammer influence. I’ve earned multiple first-place CTF finishes and enjoy malware analysis, digital forensics, and security research.
