about.sh — bash — 80×24

I'm Raghansh Gulati, an ethical hacker and security researcher with a deep passion for cybersecurity and penetration testing. I operate at the offensive edge of security — finding vulnerabilities before the bad guys do.

My days involve network scanning, writing exploits, and building secure web applications. My nights are spent deep in CTF challenges, analyzing malware samples, or reading through the latest CVE disclosures.

Core belief: "You can't defend what you don't understand how to break."
