ABOUT ME

Hey there! I'm Bishwas — a passionate cybersecurity enthusiast currently pursuing my BSc (Hons) in Ethical Hacking & Cyber Security. I thrive on breaking into systems (ethically!), analyzing digital forensic evidence, and building secure network architectures. My playground spans home labs, CTF competitions, and hands-on security projects with tools like Wireshark, Splunk, Burp Suite, Kali Linux & Nmap.

WHAT I DO

I explore both sides of cybersecurity — from offensive penetration testing and vulnerability hunting to defensive security monitoring and digital forensics. Every system tells a story, and I love uncovering it.
