I'm Eli Cipher — 19, from India, and entirely self-taught. The origin story is almost a cliché: at 14, I taught myself HTML because I thought it would let me "hack everything." By 15 I had mastered frontend development. At 17, a foundational cybersecurity program showed me what the work actually is — and I never looked back.
Today I'm transitioning from web & API offense — where I fund my learning with bug bounty and vulnerability research — into the layer most people forget exists: space. My target orbit is satellite & RF/SATCOM link security, and the attack surfaces that emerge when AI-driven spacecraft autonomy starts making its own decisions.
Top 10% on TryHackMe and climbing daily. Open to security research, red team, and space systems security opportunities.
Python-based HTTP request fuzzer that hunts for web vulnerabilities — XSS, SQL injection, and directory traversal — built from scratch to understand attacks at the request level, not just point tools.
A full SOC pipeline in containers — attack and defense in one box. Simulates brute-force with Hydra from a Kali container against an Nginx server, then detects and logs it end-to-end.
Daily-updated knowledge base from PortSwigger Web Security Academy labs, organized across 10 vulnerability categories. Every solved lab logged as Approach → Why → Tool. 48 commits and counting.
Python tool that dissects email headers to detect phishing, spam, and suspicious activity — extracts key fields and IPs, then scores the risk.
Every solved lab logged as Approach → Why → Tool. A public knowledge base at 48 commits and counting — the receipts of a self-taught operator.
Room-by-room breakdowns: recon shortcuts, the payloads that landed, and the rabbit holes that quietly ate three hours.
Why I'm leaving pure web offense for the link layer most hackers never touch — SDR rigs on a $0 budget, GNU Radio first steps, and what "signal" actually means.
A simulated look at replay attacks against unencrypted telecommand uplinks — CCSDS frames, forged TCs, and owned telemetry.
