ABOUT / THE PERSON BEHIND THE TERMINAL

Arman MishraKnown online as Enkidu.

A penetration tester and security researcher interested in understanding systems beyond their surface-level behaviour.

What I do

I’m Arman Mishra, known online as Enkidu. I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Computer Applications with a specialization in Cyber Security at Lovely Professional University, with expected graduation in 2028.

My work and interests span web application security, network penetration testing, Windows and Linux security, and Active Directory. I enjoy understanding how systems behave, how trust boundaries are formed, and how weaknesses can connect into meaningful attack paths.

How I approach security

I put enumeration before exploitation. A service banner, an authentication prompt, a group membership, or a promising lead is not automatically proof of impact. I prefer to build a hypothesis from evidence, test it with a discriminating check, and document what the results actually demonstrate.

Alongside practical testing, I build tools such as Shredder and Ink, develop CTF challenges, and create lab environments to understand offensive techniques from the ground up.

What I’m building towards

My immediate goal is to grow through security research, practical assessments, meaningful projects, and an internship opportunity. Over the longer term, I want to deepen my work in red-team operations and security research.
