Khushbu Mahawar

Hello, I’m Khushbu Mahawar. I’m currently pursuing my MCA in Cybersecurity, and I hold a BCA degree as well. I’ve built a strong interest in offensive security and have been honing my skills through hands-on practice with Hack The Box machines, over 40 PortSwigger Web Security labs, and real-world bug bounty programs like Bugcrowd, where I’ve reported vulnerabilities like reflected XSS and insecure APIs.

Technically, I’m proficient with tools like Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Netcat, and Wireshark. I’ve also developed custom scripts in Python and Bash for tasks like keylogging, traffic analysis, and subdomain enumeration. My GitHub hosts projects like DNS recon tools, keyloggers, and packet analyzers that reflect my understanding of network and web application exploitation.

With certifications like CEH and CCNA, and practical experience in vulnerability discovery, I’m confident in my ability to contribute to penetration testing teams, assess systems for weaknesses, and provide remediation insights. I’m now looking for an opportunity to apply these skills in a professional environment and continue growing as an ethical hacker.
