About

I find vulnerabilities before attackers do and I have the Hall of Fame recognitions from NASA, Cisco Meraki, and the US GSA to back that up. I'm a web application security tester focused on VAPT, with hands-on experience identifying and exploiting OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities — SQL Injection, XSS, Broken Authentication, IDOR, and more. Currently working as a Security Intern at Angel One, where I'm applying these skills in a real fintech environment where the stakes actually matter. My toolkit isn't just a list of tools I've installed, I actively use Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, OWASP ZAP, Sqlmap, and Nuclei to run end-to-end security assessments. I've built my own automated recon tool (Vinit_Auto_Recon) and an ongoing AI-powered web pentest tool (VinXcrypt) that detects OWASP-based vulnerabilities automatically. I don't just test — I build things that make testing smarter. Beyond the tools, I write clear vulnerability reports with risk ratings and remediation steps — because finding a bug means nothing if you can't communicate it to the people who need to fix it. I'm currently pursuing my M.Tech in Cyber Security at REVA University while actively doing bug bounty hunting and sharpening my Red Team skills. If you're hiring for VAPT, Penetration Testing, or Red Team roles, or just want to talk security reach me at vinitharsh20@gmail.com.
