Hey there! I’m Samarth Dad. I studied Computer Science, with a focus on Cyber Security and Digital Forensics, which helps me understand the ins and outs of online security.

I spent 6 months as a Security Analyst at Network Intelligence Pvt. Ltd., where I learned how to protect digital information from bad actors. But my passion really comes alive in friendly competitions called Capture The Flag (CTF). I ranked 1st in WiCyS SANS Bootup CTF, 7th in CyVIT CTF, and 15th in Hacker Hour CTF. These challenges test my skills and make security fun!

I’m a bit of a hacker, but for good reasons! I’ve earned titles like Hacker at HackTheBox, God rank at TryHackMe, and even got the #2 spot in PwnTillDawn in India. I also earned certifications like eJPT and eWPT that show I’m skilled in finding and fixing security holes in websites and apps.

When I’m not cracking codes, I’m part of the teams Synack Red Team (SRT) and Yogosha. We work together to make the online world safer for everyone.

Finding web security issues like SQL Injection, XSS, and others is like solving puzzles for me. And my efforts got noticed by the Indian government too! They appreciated me for spotting serious problems and helping to keep our digital world secure.
