About

Hi ๐Ÿ‘‹, Iโ€™m Pranav Vedpathak. Welcome to ARCONSEC, a space where I document my work, research, and learning in cybersecurity, with a primary focus on penetration testing and offensive security.

Background

My interest in cybersecurity began at the age of 14, driven by curiosity about how technology works beneath the surface. Growing up around computer at home, I was always interested in understanding what was happening behind the screen. When a teacher introduced me to cybersecurity, that curiosity found a direction, and I quickly knew I had found a field I wanted to pursue seriously.

Since then, Iโ€™ve built my foundation through structured learning, hands-on labs, CTFs, and practical security projects. I hold the eJPTv2 certification with a 94% score and am currently preparing for the HTB CPTS certification as I continue developing my penetration testing and offensive security skills.

My approach is simple: understand how systems work, break them in controlled environments, learn from the process, and document what I discover. Iโ€™m particularly interested in the practical side of security โ€” from reconnaissance and exploitation to understanding how vulnerabilities can be identified, reproduced, and ultimately mitigated.

ARCONSEC is where I document that journey through technical blogs, CTF/lab write-ups, security research, projects, tools, learning notes, and curated cybersecurity resources.
