One person. On purpose.
Aman Arvind Sonkamble · pronounced AL-ih-then
I'm a security engineer and a full-stack developer in Pune, and Alythen is what I do full-time. It's the same person as amansploit.com, with an invoice.
Why one person
The same person has to do both halves.
Not because I couldn't find people. Because the thing I'm selling — an application built by someone who knows exactly how it will be attacked — only works if the same person does both halves. The moment there's a “dev team” and a “security guy”, the security guy arrives last and gets overruled by the deadline. I've watched it happen from both sides.

Six months of penetration testing
Against real systems — web, API, mobile, thick-client, infrastructure — and the client reports that came out of it.

Security analyst
Building monitoring tools for a security operations team — the kind of work where a feed going quiet for two days is a real incident.

August 2026: independent
In the first six weeks, three clients found me through referrals and my own site. Alythen is that, done deliberately, with a name on the invoice that isn't a handle.
How I work
It also means I'll say no.
I take one build at a time, I don't subcontract, and if your project needs a team of five I'll tell you on the first call and mean it.
What I won't do
Four things, in writing.
- 01Build a marketing site that skips the security workNo login and no data at a price that cuts the testing — on its own you'll get better value elsewhere, and I'll say so.
- 02Put testimonials, logos or numbers on this site that I can't proveThe Proof page explains what's there instead.
- 03Tell you an automated scan is a penetration testOr that a review is a certificate.
- 04Sell you a pentest your app doesn't needIf a review comes back clean, that's the answer.
The honest state of things
Alythen is new. Judge it on what's checkable.
There are no named clients on this site yet, no testimonials and no reference calls, and the Proof page explains why. What there is instead: a set of tools anyone can run, an open-source project people are using, a production platform I secured, a report format you can read before you pay for it, and four certifications you can verify.
The other site. amansploit.com is where I put the free things — the tools, Shield, the templates, the articles. It has a hacker's name because that's the audience. Alythen is the same person, with an invoice.
In my own words
Why the name is on the invoice.
I started Alythen because the work I'm proudest of never had my name on it: reports that went out under a company letterhead, an application that was secured because a deadline slipped rather than because anyone chose it. Here the name on the invoice is the name on the code and the name on the findings. If something ships with a hole in it, there is exactly one person to ask, and you have his number.
I take one build at a time, I answer within one working day, and I would rather say no on the first call than late in the project.
