About Me

Hey — I'm Bharath. I'm a cybersecurity researcher and CTF enthusiast who enjoys breaking problems down and writing step-by-step guides that others can learn from. I spend my time solving machines and challenges, documenting techniques, and researching defensive topics so the community gets practical, actionable knowledge — not just theory.

What I Publish

I publish concise, reproducible writeups for HackTheBox machines, CTF challenges, and Sherlock/OSINT investigations. Every writeup focuses on clarity: enumeration steps, exploit development or investigation workflow, screenshots, command snippets, and post-exploit analysis or remediation notes where applicable.

I also write research pieces on DFIR, threat intelligence, SOC workflows, malware forensics, and OSINT investigations — connecting offensive techniques to defensive detection and response.

My Approach

I focus on practical learning: replicate the problem, document each step, and explain the "why" behind every command. My goal is to make writeups that are helpful for learners of all levels — from people just starting CTFs to those preparing for advanced certs or real-world engagements.

I balance offensive skills with defensive context so readers understand how attacks look from both sides.

Skills & Tools

Aims & Milestones

• Publish 100+ high-quality writeups and practical guides that remain free to the community
• Build clear learning paths for newcomers: step-by-step series on web, crypto, and pwn basics
• Gain professional certifications (e.g., OSCP) to deepen red-team skills and responsible disclosure practices
• Create short tutorials bridging offensive findings to SOC detections and DFIR best practices
• Contribute tools, scripts, and checked examples that make reproduction and learning easier
