$ whoami
Cybersecurity researcher in training. Started from zero — completed Pre-Security and Cyber Security 101 on TryHackMe, now working through the Jr Penetration Tester path (27%). Every room, lab, and script gets documented as structured technical writeups, not summaries.
Final-year BCA student from India.
$ current_mission
▸ Jr Penetration Tester — Nmap, network recon, pentest methodology (27% complete) ▸ Python tooling — building and maintaining cyber-utils ▸ Lab work — exploiting Metasploitable 2 across multiple services ▸ Documentation — architecture diagrams, design decisions, troubleshooting logs
