Assalamualaikum habibi!!
farishhz here.
And honestly… I never know how to introduce myself.
I could say “I’m a software engineering student”,
but what I mostly do is writing backend APIs with Node.js and Next.js, and breaking them to see if they're secure.
I could say “I like cybersecurity”,
but my idea of fun is hunting bugs on HackerOne and Bugcrowd, and running my own CTF platform, TDCTF.
I could say “I like reading, (though let's be real, nobody would believe that)
but…
I’ll start tomorrow.
I promise. 👉👌
I do like sharing programming thoughts, teaching cybersecurity, and dropping pentesting tricks though I only share those with people I truly trust and keep close to my circle.
So that’s where I’m at.
I’m currently in high school.
No full-time salary.
No “I quit my job at 23 to travel the world”.
Just... code repositories, reported bugs, and an unhealthy relationship with terminal windows.
Oh, and if I’m being completely honest? I low key love getting underestimated by people. There’s something oddly satisfying about keeping quiet, hiding what I actually know, and watching someone act all expert just to see how they try to "teach" me. It’s free entertainment and sometimes, you actually learn a thing or two from how they explain things.
But somehow, I still really enjoy this.
I like turning small, annoying problems into tools.
I like reading other people’s code way too slowly.
I like building secure web applications and learning in public.
Maybe that’s enough. ッ
