Rugveda Dongare

I am an M.Tech graduate in Cyber Security with a strong passion for digital forensics, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), and applied machine learning. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in pentesting methodologies, particularly the OWASP Top 10, and I am a certified EJPT. I thrive on solving complex problems and am dedicated to delivering practical, research-driven cybersecurity solutions.

During my internship at Virtual Testing Foundation, I conducted web application vulnerability assessments, exploited and documented security flaws, and authored detailed remediation reports. My hands-on experience with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Hydra, and Metasploit has further honed my skills in the cybersecurity domain. I have also worked on innovative projects, including an Ethereum-based social media DApp and a machine learning-based fragmented file carving project, where I developed a pattern-based heuristic clustering algorithm that significantly improved file reassembly accuracy.
