01 — About

Who I Am

I'm Prajwal — an penetration tester from Pune, Maharashtra with hands-on experience in network reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, and web security testing.

I work with tools like Nmap, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Metasploit through practical projects and labs. I believe the best defenders are those who think like attackers.

I enjoy building open-source security tools to help others learn, and I'm always exploring CTF challenges and real-world attack surfaces.
