Hello, World!

I'm Aravindan

Cybersecurity Student

I am a Computer Science student focused on cybersecurity and ethical hacking. I spend most of my time learning web security, penetration testing, and Linux systems, and I build security tools and small projects to understand how attacks and defenses work. My goal is to become a red teamer and security researcher.

Who I Am

I am a Computer Science student with a strong interest in cybersecurity, ethical hacking, and red teaming. I enjoy learning how systems are attacked and how they can be secured. I regularly practice web application security, penetration testing, and Linux systems, and I build small security tools and projects to improve my practical knowledge.

My main focus areas are web security, vulnerability assessment, and security tool development. I'm actively learning through platforms like TryHackMe and PortSwigger Web Security Academy, and building projects to gain hands-on experience.
