About Dhruv Panwar

I break things for a living - legally, of course.CyberSecurity Professional with focus on offensive side of security. I spend my days penetration testing, hunting vulnerabilities and breaking into systems across web applications, networks, mobile apps, API\'s and cloud environments.What sets my approach apart is understanding both sides of the equation. I\'ve studied programming languages like C and Java, learned the MERN Stack, and worked with GitHub for version control.This foundation helps me think like a developer when I\'m conducting SAST/DAST assessments or secure code reviews—I don\'t just run tools, I understand why vulnerabilities exist at the code level and how developers might introduce them.Lately, I\'ve been diving deeper into red teaming and threat simulations, working to align security testing with actual business risks rather than just checking compliance boxes. Cloud security is another area I\'m actively expanding into, because that\'s where the attack surface keeps growing. Bug hunting has taught me to think creatively about attack vectors and chain vulnerabilities in ways that traditional assessments sometimes miss.Outside of breaking into systems, I\'m either on the badminton court, in the pool, hitting the gym, or reading about geopolitics. There\'s something about understanding power dynamics on the global stage that mirrors the adversarial thinking in cybersecurity.Always learning, always testing, always one step ahead.
