Hi, I'm Madhav Shrestha
Cybersecurity Enthusiast & Ethical Hacker
Passionate about securing systems, solving challenges, and staying ahead of emerging threats.
Passionate about securing systems, solving challenges, and staying ahead of emerging threats.
I'm a cybersecurity enthusiast and Engineering student with a passion for ethical hacking and penetration testing.
With 3 years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity, I specialize in identifying vulnerabilities, securing systems, and participating in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions. My journey began when I first discovered the thrill of ethical hacking, and I've been hooked ever since.
When I'm not breaking into systems (ethically, of course), you can find me researching the latest security trends, contributing to open-source security tools, or mentoring newcomers in the field.
