About · Pune, India

One person. On purpose.

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.

how I got here

Four steps, in order.

A degree, six months of attacking real systems, a year of watching feeds go quiet, and then a name on the invoice.

  1. 01

    Coventry University

    B.Sc. (Hons) Cybersecurity. M.Sc. Cyber Security, EC-Council University — in progress.

    2021 – 2025

  2. 02

    Six months of penetration testing

    Web, API, mobile, thick-client and infrastructure — against real client systems, and the reports that came out of it.

    Jul 2025 – Jan 2026

  3. 03

    Security analyst

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

    Jun – Aug 2026

  4. 04

    Independent, on purpose

    Three clients in the first six weeks, through referrals and this site. The same work, 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.

Said here so you don't have to find out on the call.

  1. 01

    Ship anything that skips the security review

    Every build and every website goes through the same pre-launch review, at every price. If a budget only works by cutting that week, I'll say so.

  2. 02

    Put testimonials, logos or numbers on this site that I can't prove

    The Proof page explains what's there instead.

  3. 03

    Tell you an automated scan is a penetration test

    Or that a review is a certificate.

  4. 04

    Sell you a pentest your app doesn't need

    If a review comes back clean, that's the answer.

the honest state of things

Alythen is new. Judge it on what's checkable.

Alythen has existed since August 2026; what existed before that is on the Proof page — 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

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.
