About Me
👋 Hi, I’m Keshav Locknauth, known online as 0xkakashi. I’m a cybersecurity professional working across SOC operations, CTF competition, and bug hunting.
What I do
🛡️ CyberSOC Analyst: threat hunting, incident response, and log analysis. See my resume for the full picture.
🚩 CTF player: I compete regularly and write up what I solve. The archive is mostly cryptography for now (PicoGym + CryptoHack), with web/pwn/forensics gradually filling in.
🐛 Bug hunter: vulnerability research, methodology notes, and (sanitized) findings live in the bug hunting section.
Background
💻 My tech stack spans web, mobile, and Python: TypeScript / React / Tailwind, Flask / Django, Flutter / Dart, C / C++ / Java, plus the usual security toolkit (Burp, Ghidra, pwntools, Volatility3, Splunk).
🎓 Credentials and platform profiles live in Certs and Platforms: TryHackMe, HackTheBox, RootMe, LetsDefend, CyberDefenders, and more.
🧪 I tinker with side projects too, small tools and experiments listed on /projects.
Why Kakashi
🌀 I’m a big fan of Naruto, especially Kakashi Hatake. His dedication, strategic thinking, and ability to adapt under pressure mirror what I aim for in security work: stay focused, learn constantly, and approach hard problems with patience. The Sharingan reading hidden information feels apt for log analysis and recon. 🥷
