Not a fingerprint of you. A reminder that every product leaks a trust map on first paint.
I test what the product trusts.
VAPT, threat modeling, multi-cloud, AI risk, and security automation across web, API, and cloud before it ships and after it is live.
01 / Surface
First pass is always the origin.
No extra permission. Nothing left this machine. The same shallow read I run in hour one of a product review.
02 / Mandate
Five surfaces. One question.
Where does this product place trust that an adversary can spend?
Adversarial tests
Web, API, mobile, cloud. Chain the small stuff until it is a path, not a ticket.
Threat modeling
Draw the trust boundaries. Cross them. Write it so the path gets killed.
Multi-cloud
AWS and Azure: IAM, exposed storage, security groups, one role with too much blast radius.
AI risk
Prompt injection, agent/tool abuse, CTEM-style attack paths when a model is treated as trusted.
Security automation
Custom tooling for pentest workflows, leaver/offboarding, SIEM triage, and repeatable checks.
03 / Method
Three loops. Every product.
Model the trust
Map identity, sessions, APIs, cloud roles, and any model the product treats as benign. Isolated bugs are symptoms. The path is the finding.
Spend the trust
Abuse the intended path. Skip the exploit catalog until a control actually has to fail.
Prove it, then close it
Write the attack path so a builder can reproduce it. Fix is the only close.
04 / Field logs
What broke, and why it mattered.
05 / Record
Where the work sits.
