Portrait of Barun Tiwary

Full Stack Engineer · transitioning to Red Teaming ·

Full Stack Engineer moving into red teaming. I’ve built production systems — now I’m learning to break them.

Shipping authentication, APIs, device networks, and deploys showed me where real systems crack. I’m turning that builder’s view into offensive security: web and API exploitation, Linux and network attacks, and lab work written up honestly.

Principles

Know how it’s built before you break it

Shipping auth flows, APIs, and deploys is how I learned where they get misconfigured.

Every trust boundary is an attack surface

A device token, a webhook URL, and a database port are all doors. Know which ones are open.

Defaults are the real entry points

My own database was breached through a default password, not a clever exploit.

Label what’s real

Shipped, practiced in labs, or learning. Never blurred together.
