About Vishnu K Anand

Junior Penetration Tester with hands-on experience performing black-box web, Linux, and Windows security assessments in controlled lab environments. I focus on identifying real-world vulnerabilities, validating impact through exploitation, and documenting findings using professional penetration testing reports.My experience includes manual testing of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, XSS, IDOR, authentication flaws, insecure file uploads, and privilege escalation paths. I’ve worked through full attack chains—from initial access to root/SYSTEM compromise—across both Linux and Windows systems.I prioritise methodology and reporting over tools, following a structured testing approach aligned with industry standards. My GitHub portfolio contains pentest-style reports that demonstrate how vulnerabilities are identified, exploited, and remediated.Currently seeking junior VAPT / penetration testing roles where I can contribute to real assessments, learn from experienced security professionals, and continue developing offensive security skills.• Web Application Penetration Testing• Vulnerability Assessment & Exploitation• Windows active directory• Pentest Reporting & Remediation GuidanceGitHub: https://github.com/valdrs
