About Me

I'm Pushpender Singh Rathore a Cybersecurity Researcher and Offensive Security Engineer specializing in vulnerability research, exploit development, and adversary simulation. I architect and contribute to industry-defining open-source security tooling used by red teams, blue teams, and researchers worldwide.

Currently pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering, I operate at the intersection of low-level systems engineering and offensive security from kernel internals and binary exploitation to network reconnaissance and post-exploitation tradecraft.

Core focus areas:
  • Vulnerability Research & Responsible Disclosure
  • Exploit Development & Weaponization
  • Reverse Engineering & Malware Analysis
  • Red Team Operations & Adversary Emulation
  • Open-Source Security Tooling

Technical proficiency: C, C++, Python, x86/x64 Assembly, Bash with deep working knowledge of Metasploit Framework, Nmap, Burp Suite, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, GDB, and Wireshark.

I sharpen my craft on HackTheBox, TryHackMe, OverTheWire, and WeChall, and contribute back to the community by building, maintaining, and upstreaming tooling that advances the state of offensive security.
