About Me



          Hello , my name is Rohit Patil and welcome to my blog. I am an IT engineer graduated  from Mumbai university. I am an avid PC gamer and i play lots of games from old school dave to crysis . My interest in Infosec grew when our online game server hosted on Amazon S3 cloud was getting DDoS from opposing clan . Thats when i researched a lot on DDoS and how to mitigate it and secured my first server successfully . Pretty much after that i got interested in learning and exploring about different exploits , vulnerabilities and how to attack them offensively and also defend against them  .

I started out on my infosec adventure by reading an e-book called Hacking for dummies which covered all the basic things (Very good ebook for beginners ) and here i am now reading Smashing the stack for fun and profit by Aleph One .

My area of interests are 
  • penetration testing 
  • solving various hackathon like challenges 
  • CTF challenges 
  • I am also interested in malware analysis , forensics , fuzzing . 

Usually i kill my time trying out new exploits on my virtual lab .

Well that pretty much sums things up about me .
