Shanmukhasrisai Kommuri

I am Shanmukha Sri Sai Kommuri, an India Book of Records 2024 Awardee for Best Cybersecurity Researcher & Pentester and Best Ethical Hacker Award CSI 2025 recipient. I am also the Outstanding Young Cyber Security Professional 2026 (India & South Asia Cyber OSPAs) and the youngest person in the Cyber OSPAs India & South Asia history to earn this title under the age of 25.

My tech journey began in 6th grade with OT/IoT projects like mini projectors and wireless cameras, growing into hardware mods (Wi‑Fi adapters, RAM extensions) by 10th grade and then into coding, networking, Linux, and security from 11th grade. Since then, I have worked extensively with C++, Java, Python, PHP, SQL, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Bash, and PowerShell for security tooling, automation, and exploit development.

I primarily operate as an offensive security (Red Team) specialist, running authorized attack simulations to help organizations discover and fix real‑world vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. My Red Team and VAPT work covers web, API, mobile, network, and OT/IoT security, alongside bug bounty hunting and responsible disclosure for government and global platforms such as EC‑Council, Microsoft, and more. I have secured 500+ critical digital assets across 2000+ and 600+ organizations, including AP, TSRTC, IITs, and multiple international products.

On the offensive side, I focus on deep vulnerability research and exploit development, including XSS, SQL injection, LFI/RFI, CORS issues, clickjacking, and complex chaining of bugs to demonstrate business‑level impact. I also conduct Red Team adversary simulations and OSINT‑driven reconnaissance under clearly defined rules of engagement, ensuring all activity is legal, ethical, and contractually authorized.

Complementing this, I bring Blue Team and DFIR skills to turn offensive findings into stronger defenses: SOC monitoring, threat hunting, digital forensics, incident response, malware and log analysis, and SIEM engineering with Splunk, ELK, and Security Onion. I align my work with frameworks like ISO‑27001, NIST, and MITRE ATT&CK and hold certifications including ISO‑27001, Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), and Certified SOC Analyst.

Beyond hands‑on security, I am committed to community and mentorship, having helped 100+ aspiring professionals start or grow their careers in penetration testing, bug bounty, and SOC operations through structured guidance and training. I actively contribute to the global cybersecurity ecosystem as a Top 15 Security Researcher (NCIIPC, Govt. of India), ISACA Global Volunteer, and LinkedIn Top Security Voice
