Security Analyst | AppSec, VAPT, GRC | Building Open-Source Security Tools
What I'm looking for
I’ve been doing VAPT and QA security work at CinemaGhar (361 Degree Media Pvt. Ltd.), running structured assessments on REST API endpoints and documenting critical auth and registration issues. I map each finding to OWASP API Top 10 risk categories and keep everything audit-ready, including remediation steps.
Alongside that, I review logs and security artifacts to validate abuse patterns (including DDoS/bot activity), correlate IP/ASN threat data, and maintain accurate technical documentation for layered controls like Redis rate limiting, device fingerprinting, and honeypot-based bot detection. I also build assessment-supporting tooling through projects like an automated OWASP API testing platform and a threat-intelligence workflow.
