Hi, I'm Aaditya.
A Computer Science student fascinated by how networks breathe and how clouds are secured. I dissect network protocols, harden cloud infrastructure, and explore how defenders think because understanding the attack surface is the first step to locking it down.
Who I Am
I'm Aaditya, a Computer Science student specialising in cybersecurity. Fascinated by how systems work under the hood, I spend my time exploring network security, cloud security, CTFs, bug bounties, and the latest CVE disclosures.
Right now, I'm focused on Network Security and Cloud security, actively practising on HackTheBox and TryHackMe while building tools that solve real problems. The best way to learn security is to actually try to break stuff — ethically, of course.

What I Work With
Offensive Security
Attack surface mapping & exploitation
Network Security
Defense through deep packet understanding
Cloud Fundamentals
Securing infrastructure at scale
Things I've Built
PackageGuard Scanner
A full-stack security application that analyses GitHub repositories and packages for vulnerabilities, with a modern React dashboard and a Node.js backend for deep dependency analysis.
Zero Trust Network Access Simulator
Built to understand how ZTNA policy decisions work — device posture checks, identity context, behavioural analytics. A practical learning tool that turned into a proper project.
Automated Nmap Report Tool
Nmap output is painful to read. This tool chains scans intelligently and outputs a clean, modern HTML report, using AI to adapt the scanning strategy to discovered hosts.
AI Phishing Detection System
Detects and flags phishing attempts using ML — analysing email content, URLs, and sender patterns to identify malicious intent. Built as a security experiment, evolved into a robust real-time threat detection tool.
Network Baseline Monitor
Monitors network traffic baselines and flags anomalies — beaconing patterns, lateral movement, unexpected spikes. Started as a uni project, grew into something genuinely useful.
Competitions I've Competed In
MythX
@ KIET Group of Institutions
Achieved an outstanding 9th position in the offline final round of a national-level 24-hour Capture The Flag competition at KIET College campus, demonstrating advanced technical skills under high-pressure conditions.
CREST CTF 2026
@ CREST Cyber Club — Pimpri Chinchwad University
Participated in an 8-hour team-based CTF organised by CREST Cyber Club, collaborating to solve challenges across cryptography, web security, forensics, and reverse engineering.
EY DSCI National CTF Hackathon
@ EY DSCI
Led a 2-person team through 8 straight hours of AD exploitation, binary reversing, and some genuinely evil forensics challenges. Finished in the top 40 nationally.
Where I'm Studying
B.E in Computer Science
@ Chitkara University
Relevant Coursework: Network Security, Cryptography, Operating Systems, Object-Oriented Programming, Data Structures & Algorithms
Certifications
Identity Security Leader
Introduction to Cybersecurity
How I Approach Work
[Hover each step in order to unlock a secret…]
Reconnaissance
Before touching anything, I map out what I'm dealing with. Passive enumeration, OSINT, subdomain discovery — building a complete picture before the target even knows I'm looking.
Vulnerability Analysis
Automated scanners catch the obvious stuff. I go deeper — hunting logical flaws, auth bypasses, and misconfigs that tools consistently overlook.
Exploitation
This is where it gets interesting. Crafting exploits, chaining vulnerabilities, bypassing filters — and keeping meticulous notes of every step along the way.
Post Exploitation
Once in, the goal is showing real impact. Privilege escalation, pivoting through the network, and demonstrating what an attacker could actually get away with.
Reporting
A clear, developer-friendly report: technical details, working PoCs, risk ratings, and specific steps to fix things. No jargon for its own sake.
Say Hello
Whether you have a project in mind, want to talk security, or just want to say hi I'm always happy to chat.
