Featured Work
Selected projects demonstrating real-world cybersecurity impact
Automated Recon Pipeline
Built an end-to-end reconnaissance pipeline chaining Subfinder, httpx, and Nuclei for automated vulnerability discovery. Reduced manual recon time by 80% and consistently identified critical assets missed by manual processes.
Enterprise SOC Deployment
Deployed full SIEM environment with 50+ custom detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Reduced mean time to detect (MTTD) from hours to minutes.
AD Attack Chain Simulation
Performed complete AD attack chain for a client engagement: initial access through Kerberoasting to DCSync and Domain Admin compromise in under 2 hours.
Critical IDOR Discovery
Discovered and responsibly disclosed a critical IDOR vulnerability in a major SaaS platform that could have exposed sensitive user data of 50K+ accounts.
Enterprise PKI Deployment
Designed and deployed complete PKI infrastructure with root/intermediate CAs, certificate lifecycle management, automated revocation, and HSM integration.
Client Feedback
What clients say about working with me
"Surendra's penetration testing uncovered critical vulnerabilities that our previous vendor missed. His detailed report and remediation guidance helped us fix everything within a week. Exceptional work."
"He built our SOC from the ground up - SIEM deployment, custom detection rules, and threat hunting playbooks. Our mean time to detect dropped from hours to minutes. Highly recommend."
"The AD security assessment was eye-opening. Surendra identified attack paths we never knew existed and provided a clear hardening roadmap. His expertise in Active Directory is outstanding."
