Headshot of Mihir

I am an avid hacking and privacy enthusiast who specializes in web exploitation, penetration testing, and low-level security. Beyond hacking, I love programming, physics, math, robotics, economics, and even film.

AI

Agentic AI @ TJCSC - CTFs played with LLMs and custom agents (most of the challenges solved autonomously or with heavy AI assistance):

  • UTCTF 2026 (University of Texas at Austin) - 1st/736
  • TAMUctf 2026 (Texas A&M University) - 1st/697
  • Batman's Kitchen CTF 2026 (University of Washington, Seattle) - 2nd/525
  • BSidesSF CTF 2026 - 2nd/736
  • KnightCTF 2026 - 2nd/890
  • Scarlet CTF 2026 (Rutgers University) - 3rd/762
  • PascalCTF 2026 - 4th/854

I do not regularly do CTFs with AI anymore due to several reasons which I talked about in an opinion piece.
