π TryHackMe Top 3%
A dedicated cybersecurity student passionate about protecting the digital world. My focus lies in mastering red teaming by simulating real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen defenses.
I actively participate in CTF challenges, sharpening my skills in ethical hacking and problem-solving. Currently pursuing BTech in Computer Science at Sharda University, I'm constantly expanding my expertise in penetration testing, OSINT, and security research.
When I'm not hacking ethically, you'll find me organizing cybersecurity workshops, mentoring fellow students, or competing in CTF tournaments. I believe in continuous learning and giving back to the cybersecurity community.
