About Jithin Pavithran
Jithin Pavithran (me)
I've been a professional ethical hacker since 2019. I have experience pentesting web applications, networks, thick clients, APIs, and other industry-specific systems in OT (Operation Technology) and IT (Information Technology) environments. I enjoy the complexity of the web and the pleasure of learning new technologies.
While I'm most experienced in ethical hacking, I have also worked on malware research, incident response, purple teaming, and software development. During my initial days in the corporate world, it was my conscious decision to work for different teams and understand their challenges. When you have worked in a development team, you know the best ways to help them as a pentester.
I completed my dual (Bachelor's + Master's) degree from IIT Madras with published research on malware evasion techniques. D-TIME is the malware obfuscation framework I developed during the study. The paper and the PoC were published in WOOT'19.
