Penetration Testing / Ethical Hacking

Breaking into systems to make them unbreakable

The Journey

12+ Years of Experience

My journey into penetration testing began in 2012 when I discovered my first SQL injection vulnerability in a local web application. That moment of understanding how attackers think changed everything.

I started with basic tools like Nmap and Metasploit, spending countless nights in virtual labs, breaking and rebuilding systems. By 2014, I had earned my OSCP certification, which opened doors to professional engagements.

Over the years, I've conducted over 200+ penetration tests for banks, fintech companies, and government agencies. Each engagement taught me something new about how systems fail and how to make them resilient.

Today, I combine automated tools with manual techniques, always thinking like an attacker while documenting like a defender. The goal isn't just to find vulnerabilities—it's to help organizations build unbreakable systems.

Problem-Solving Methodology

01

Reconnaissance

Gather intelligence about target systems, networks, and applications using OSINT, port scanning, and service enumeration.

02

Vulnerability Analysis

Identify potential weaknesses through automated scanning and manual code review, prioritizing based on business impact.

03

Exploitation

Safely exploit identified vulnerabilities in controlled environments, documenting proof-of-concept exploits.

04

Post-Exploitation

Assess the depth of compromise, lateral movement possibilities, and data exfiltration risks.

05

Reporting & Remediation

Deliver actionable reports with risk ratings, proof-of-concepts, and prioritized remediation steps.
