Saif Sahriar
@saifsahriar
I am a penetration tester specializing in web, API, and network security.
What I'm looking for
I am a B.Tech CSE-AIML student passionate about offensive security and hands-on testing. I focus on identifying practical vulnerabilities and delivering actionable remediation.
As a Junior Penetration Tester Intern at Defronix Cyber Security Pvt Ltd, I assisted in web application and API security testing, network vulnerability assessments, SAST support, and produced PoC-backed reports. I regularly applied OWASP Top 10 methodologies and used tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, and Wireshark to validate findings.
I have led and contributed to projects including a blockchain wallet API pentest, an admin interface assessment, and a Tor-based anonymized port scanner; I also built a career guidance portal with LMS and AI chatbot features. I ranked in the top 7% on TryHackMe, reported PII exposure at Paytm responsibly, gained unauthenticated access to a ClickHouse instance at Setu.co via Shodan reconnaissance, and mentor newcomers as Cybersecurity Lead at The Anonymous Legion.
