I'm Karthikeyan, a Cybersecurity Researcher, Investigator, and Educator based in Chennai, India. I lead Cappricio Securities, a cybersecurity consulting firm focused on discovering and securing vulnerabilities across various platforms. With hands-on experience securing major platforms like Android OS, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Snapchat, and Upwork, my mission extends beyond just finding weaknesses—I work to fortify these systems against potential cyber threats.
In addition to my consulting work, I have trained over 25,000 students across India, equipping the next generation with practical cybersecurity skills and knowledge to tackle real-world challenges. My goal is to make your digital experience safe from malicious actors and empower others to do the same.
As a cybersecurity researcher, I specialize in Web VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing), focusing on uncovering and addressing vulnerabilities in web applications to protect against cyber threats. Most of my discoveries involve CVEs and server-side bugs.
In cybersecurity tool development, I create tools for open-source communities, corporate environments, and clients, aiming to secure applications and support red teaming efforts. Check out my GitHub for open-source projects and explore my contributions to the cybersecurity ecosystem.
Mobile app penetration testing is one of my specialties and a personal favorite. I've successfully identified significant vulnerabilities, including a notable bug in Android OS that earned me a $5,000 reward from the Android team in 2020.
Developing futuristic robots and smart systems with IoT is one of my core skills. I'm not only focused on innovation but also on security, ensuring these systems are built to withstand cyber threats. As both a developer and an IoT penetration tester, I'm dedicated to creating secure IoT products that meet the demands of the future.

I discovered an authentication bypass and earned $200 for finding a bug in one of Bugcrowd's programs. Afterward, I enrolled in web app penetration testing and bug bounty, as well as mobile application bug bounty courses at Cappriciosec University. These courses significantly enhanced my knowledge and provided me with real-time experience in cybersecurity.
My name is Pranav Kataria, Assistant Commissioner of Gujarat Police. I have learned many valuable skills from Cappriciosec University, but my favorite topics are RF hacking, mobile tracking, Internet Protocol Detail Records, hacking social accounts and mobile devices, tracking cyber criminals, ATM card cloning, and more. These topics have given me insights into how cybercriminals take advantage of cybercrime and how to track them.
I discovered a code injection bug in one of Google's Android apps, and Google acknowledged my work by providing me with a place in their Hall of Fame. Encouraged by this recognition, I enrolled in Cappricio University's Mobile Application Pen-Testing course. In this course, I delved deep into concepts such as Android static code analysis, iOS dynamic hacking, and malware exploit development.
