Rakshita Gupta

Cybersecurity Analyst - Offensive Focused

Professional Background

I'm a cybersecurity student specializing in offensive security, exploit development and DFIR. My interests span across SOC and penetration testing. I enjoy understanding how systems behave internally and how they can be broken in controlled, ethical scenarios.

My journey began with experimenting on small security challenges of TryHackMe and HackTheBox. Over time, this curiosity evolved into building my own tools for ethical exploitation, solving CTF challenges, and working through hands-on labs that shaped my skills in Vulnerability Analysis and Penetration Testing.

I love to keep myself updated in the field of Cybersecurity. My approach blends theoretical understanding with practical exercises. I continuously refine my techniques by sharing and contributing to the community.
