I'm Rao, a computer science graduate and cybersecurity practitioner. I help businesses secure their Linux servers, cloud infrastructure, and web applications through hands-on penetration testing and practical hardening, not checkbox audits.
Automated scanners knock on every public server, all day long. Most are harmless noise, but some aren't. Here's a simulated view of what that traffic looks like. My job is making sure your doors are locked.
Most security problems start with systems left on their default settings. I lock them down properly, then test them to prove it works.
I lock down the servers your business runs on, so they stay private, patched and quietly doing their job.
Good for: websites, apps and internal tools running on Linux.
I tighten your cloud setup so the right people have access and nothing is open that shouldn't be.
Good for: teams who moved to the cloud quickly and want a second pair of eyes.
I test your website or web app the way an attacker would, then show you what I found and how to fix it.
Good for: online shops, customer portals, booking and login systems.
Also available: small Python tools that automate routine security checks, so they run every time without anyone having to remember.
No surprises. You always know what I'm doing and why.
We agree on what is in scope, what is off limits, and when testing happens. All in writing.
I examine your servers, cloud setup or web app carefully and safely.
You get a plain-English report with findings ranked by how much they matter.
I harden or help fix the important issues, then check that they are actually closed.
I'm Rao, a computer science graduate focused on practical security. My work centres on Linux systems, cloud environments and web applications, and I write Python to automate the repetitive parts.
I'm building my practice one carefully done project at a time, which means every client gets my full attention. I also write up what I learn on the blog, so you can see how I think before we ever talk.
Every change and test has written authorisation and agreed boundaries.
You'll know what is wrong, why it matters and what to do about it.
If a simpler fix is enough, I'll say so instead of selling you more.
Anything I see while working is kept confidential. I'm happy to sign an NDA.
I work to avoid it. Scope and timing are agreed in writing, changes are planned and tested carefully, and I keep a way to roll back. I'll ask before anything that could affect live services.
No. I explain things in plain language. The report is written for the people making decisions, with the technical detail included for whoever does the fixing.
A written report covering what I found, how serious each issue is, the evidence, and clear steps to fix it. I'm happy to walk you through it on a call.
It depends on the size of what's being checked. Tell me about your setup and I'll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Yes. Findings and access details stay confidential, and I'm happy to sign an NDA.
Send me a short message about what you run and what worries you. I'll tell you honestly what makes sense, even if that's less than you expected.
Technical write-ups on Linux, cloud and web security.
No pressure and no jargon. Tell me what you run and what worries you, and I'll reply with an honest view of what would help.
