Curious by design, methodical by practice.

@viperseconline

I'm a Junior Penetration Tester focused on offensive security — building the practical muscle to find and fix vulnerabilities before real attackers do.

My focus areas are Web Application Security, Network Security, Linux, Active Directory and Privilege Escalation. I spend my nights on Capture The Flag challenges and my days reading source code, protocols and post-mortems.

I believe great security engineers are made by relentless practice — so I document every lab, every write-up and every tool I build, in public.
