NAME : Akshay Shibu
ROLE : Aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst
SPECIALITY : Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR)
LOCATION : Nashik, Maharashtra, India
UNIVERSITY : Sandip University — B.Tech Cybersecurity & Forensics (2027)
STATUS : Actively hunting threats & bugs
MOTTO : "Trace every artifact. Trust no process."I'm a cybersecurity student and practitioner focused on Digital Forensics, Incident Response, and Web Application Security. I've discovered real-world vulnerabilities through bug bounty programs and built open-source forensic tooling to accelerate evidence triage.
🔴 Open Bug Bounty — Cyber Security Intern [ Jan 2026 – Feb 2026 | Remote ]
- Executed vulnerability assessments on live web applications, targeting OWASP Top 10 vectors
- Discovered and documented a high-severity Reflected XSS vulnerability using hybrid automated + manual payload verification
- Practiced industry-standard Responsible Disclosure protocols ensuring secure patch management
🟠 ShadowFox & Corizo — Cyber Security Intern [ Jun 2025 – Dec 2025 | Remote ]
- Analysed network traffic and system logs to identify security anomalies and unauthorized access attempts
- Performed system hardening exercises and studied ACLs to improve organizational security posture
- Collaborated on simulated threat-hunting exercises, mapping attacker techniques to MITRE ATT&CK
PythonFlaskCryptographyJan 2026 – Present
An automated digital investigation framework engineered to accelerate evidence triage and artifact analysis.
