@nitinmithbavkar

I analyze malware and automate threat intelligence for adversary simulation and security validation.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to malware analysis, cyber threat intelligence, detection engineering, adversary emulation, and threat-informed security validation work.

I'm currently building automated cyber threat intelligence workflows at FourCore, extracting IOCs, TTPs, behavioral indicators, and threat context for security validation. I independently maintain daily intelligence outputs and helped automate approximately 50% of the intelligence-creation workflow using AI-assisted methods.

My malware research spans XWorm, Quasar RAT, Agent Tesla, NanoCore, njRAT, AsyncRAT, EagleRAT, ClickFix campaigns, and Kimsuky activity; my ClickFix investigation was referenced by Rapid7. I also build defensive research projects including a Windows PE antivirus prototype using YARA, heuristics, AI-assisted classification, and cloud-assisted detection.
