Security Lead, Network Researcher, SRE enthusiast. I obsess over raw telemetry, traffic flows, and the invisible anomalies that keep distributed systems online — or break them apart. They call me the boss of the void. (it's not a cult)
I'm a security lead and network researcher with an engineer's brain — comfortable inspecting packets at 2am and architecting resilient infrastructure by afternoon.
My work exists at the intersection of deep packet inspection, incident response, and site reliability engineering. Currently serving as Security Lead (2IC) at HackTheBox Club SRMIST and Network Research Associate at Next Tech Lab, investigating distributed telemetry and live anomaly detection.
When I'm not hunting anomalies in Azure logs or building multi-threaded network observability tools, I'm competing in CTFs (Rank 3 India BugCrowd × HTB 2025, Rank 22 IIT Bombay TrustLab) or pursuing my M.Tech in IT Security & Forensics at SRMIST. Voidb3nder doesn't sleep — voidb3nder investigates. (this is a lie. i sleep a lot.)
"Complexity is a failure of visibility. Zero trust is not paranoia — it's clarity. Sometimes clarity requires bending every metric toward a single pane of glass."
// tools & skills
selected projects — the ones with actual gravity.
Monolithic ITSM PAM platform in Go/Gin with AES-256 GCM encrypted vault, configurable rotation policies, multi-stage approval workflow (Draft to Closed), RBAC, and immutable audit logging.
High-throughput Python TUI supporting 14+ protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP, HTTP, DNS) with real-time packet crafting, worker pools, 20+ keybindings, and Prometheus-style metrics export.
Automated packet inspection engine flagging forged source addresses, GPS spoofing, and protocol inconsistencies (KRIs) across live pipelines for instant incident remediation.
Managing live event availability and Azure performance logs for HTB SRMIST, authoring monitoring SOPs, and researching Deep Packet Inspection at Next Tech Lab. Ranked 3rd in India (BugCrowd × HTB) and 22nd solo at IIT Bombay TrustLab.
transmissions from the void — telemetry, packet analysis & security writeups.
Analyzing high-volume protocol inconsistencies across live networks and turning raw packet metadata into actionable SRE metrics.
How multi-threaded worker pools and modular session managers can process 14+ network protocols with sub-millisecond response times.
Detecting forged source addresses in real-time pipelines before malicious traffic reaches the core infrastructure.
Binary exploitation, web challenges, and time management strategies when competing alone in high-stakes national CTFs.
Fall into my orbit. Whether you want to discuss network observability, SRE, incident response, or collaborate on security research — the void is open. (speed of light delays apply)
