Ved Pakhare

Cybersecurity Student | Digital Forensics Enthusiast | Security Practitioner

I am a SYBSc Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics student at Elphinstone College, Dr. Homi Bhabha State University, Mumbai. I have completed my internship at Maharashtra Cyber (Govt. of Maharashtra), where I gained hands-on exposure to real-world cybercrime investigations and digital forensic workflows.

During my internship, I worked under senior officers assisting in financial fraud investigations, OSINT-based tracing, log analysis, and structured case documentation. I supported digital evidence handling processes, monitored suspicious activity patterns, and contributed to investigative coordination while maintaining strict confidentiality and departmental discipline.

Outside formal roles, I actively practice web application security testing, build small security tools, simulate attack environments, and analyze vulnerabilities in controlled lab setups. I focus on understanding how systems fail, how attackers operate, and how defenses can be strengthened.

I am continuously building practical skills across offensive security, digital forensics, incident response, and threat analysis with a strong hands-on approach.
