Cybersecurity Specialist · Red Team · CTF Champion · Security Researcher
A brief introduction to who I am and what drives me.
I'm Muhammad Zailan, a cybersecurity enthusiast with a deep
passion for Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, penetration testing, and building security tools.
I actively participate in challenges on platforms like HackTheBox,
TryHackMe, and various online and local CTFs.
My journey in cybersecurity started with curiosity about how systems work โ and how they break.
Today, I channel that curiosity into finding vulnerabilities, writing detailed writeups to share
knowledge with the community, and developing tools that contribute to a safer digital landscape.
I believe in the power of open-source and continuous learning.
Technologies and domains I work with.
Recent challenges I've conquered and documented.
