$ I break systems to make them stronger

Seventeen-year-old security researcher from Varanasi. I hunt real vulnerabilities in government & private VDPs, build Python tooling, and live inside Burp Suite — finding the flaws before attackers do.

The researcher behind the terminal

Seventeen. Self-taught. Relentless.

I'm Yuvraj Chaturvedi — a cybersecurity researcher from Varanasi who lives in the terminal and breathes vulnerability research.

My days are pentesting web apps, grinding CTF challenges, and responsibly disclosing real bugs in government VDPs. When I'm not inside Burp Suite, I'm writing Python to automate the boring parts of recon.

I don't just find vulnerabilities — I understand why they exist and how to fix them. That's the difference between a scanner and a researcher.
