01. About Me

Hello! I'm Lalit Kumawat, a passionate cybersecurity student pursuing my BCA with specialization in Cyber Security. My journey into the world of information security has been driven by an insatiable curiosity about how systems work and, more importantly, how they can be protected.

As an aspiring Ethical Hacker and security researcher, I specialize in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and network security. I believe that understanding offensive security is crucial to building robust defensive mechanisms.

My hands-on experience includes working with industry-standard tools and platforms, actively participating in CTF challenges, and completing practical labs on TryHackMe. I'm constantly learning and evolving, staying updated with the latest security trends and vulnerabilities.
