Specialized in mobile application penetration testing, network security, dark web reconnaissance, and AI-driven OSINT operations. Founder of SoTaNik_AI with expertise in vulnerability research, threat intelligence, and advanced security analysis across multiple domains.
I am a passionate Cybersecurity Researcher, Bug Bounty Hunter, and Dark Web Reconnaissance Specialist with expertise in offensive security and threat intelligence. As the founder of SoTaNik_AI, I specialize in cutting-edge security research combining AI-driven analysis with traditional penetration testing methodologies.
My expertise spans Mobile Application Penetration Testing, Network Security, Web Application Security, and Advanced OSINT Operations. I actively conduct vulnerability research through major bug bounty platforms including ComOlho, participate in CTF competitions (picoCTF, HackTheBox, Defcon), and host my own sponsored CTF event, SCPCTF.
I have developed innovative Agentic AI-based projects that continuously monitor underground forums like BreachForums and Nulled for data leaks, automatically adapting to new domains when they shut down. Currently developing SoTaNik OSINT HUB, an LLM-backed OSINT tool designed for comprehensive intelligence gathering and analysis.
