Hi Readers,

I am a security researcher.....well more correctly white hat by day and black hat by night. In my day job i fix bugs and make small enhancements to the software i am maintaining. Sounds ok but not exciting does it ? .....with night comes the excitement ...when i light up in fornt of my laptop and do my security research. i never know how time flies by when i sit there and try and decode the mysteries of the security world. Its always always that i end up re-inventing the wheel but in my opinion its all about getting the basics straight before starting on the real job.

I have coded everything from a silly connect port scanner to an experimental worm which i proudly displayed as part of my final year project at IIT. I remember how proud i was ....to see that i had breathed life into this digital creature, which solely existed because of me, its code a representation of my thought, both conscious and the sub-conscious. I could control it and it was my digital slave forced to do my bidding. Only a hacker can understand the true pleasure which one can derive out of a really "cool" hack. Of course there have been very few who have been appreciative of my work till now, largely because they understand nothing of it. The Indian internet revolution has just begun and largely security unaware.
