phase 01: recon

Hi, I’mVasudha

Security-first engineer: automotive cybersecurity, safety-critical systems and hands-on vulnerability assessment.

Resume

phase 02: enumeration

Who’s behind the keyboard

Computer Science graduate and Safety Lead on a QNX-based automotive platform. I map how systems fail — threats, risks and safe states — and document it so every decision is traceable.

phase 03: privilege escalation

I break things to understand how they work.

  1. Penetration Testing

    Vulnerability assessment first: mapping the attack surface with Nmap, Nikto and Nessus, then testing it with Burp Suite and Metasploit.

  2. Red Teaming

    Thinking like the adversary — ethical hacking with Hydra, Hashcat and John the Ripper on Kali Linux, and training toward the CEH.

  3. Automotive Security

    Co-led AegisKernel, a QNX RTOS-based secure operating environment, owning its safety architecture under ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 and ISO 21448.

  4. Threat Modeling

    TARA, threat modeling, WCET validation and safe-state analysis across 120+ critical operations, turned into traceable engineering artifacts.

  5. Vulnerability Research

    Structured, risk-aware analysis of where systems break — documented in SRS, safety envelopes and taxonomies so every finding can be tracked and fixed.

phase 04: lateral movement

Moving through the network

Every engagement is lateral movement through a toolkit — from recon and exploitation to safety analysis and data pipelines.
