Summary

Ninad is a cybersecurity enthusiast and ethical hacker from India who has been participating in Bug Bounty programs since 2018, focusing on various areas such as web-apps, mobile apps, APIs, and penetration testing. He currently works as an Application Security Engineer at ArisGlobal and hunts bugs part-time. Ninad started learning web development to gain a strong foundation for bug hunting and began working towards his CEH certification. After months of hard work, he successfully found his first bounty, which helped him pay off his education loan and buy a motorcycle. He now spends around 20 hours per week on bug hunting and uses various tools and resources to stay updated with the latest security issues. Ninad's advice for new hackers is to learn how to search effectively, have patience, and focus on understanding application logic and dependencies. When not hunting bugs, he enjoys road trips, watching Netflix, and sharing knowledge through writing blogs.
