About Pratiks

I'm Pratik Singh — a cybersecurity researcher and red team engineer with 5+ years of full-time industry experience in offensive security. I've worked across banking, fintech, SaaS, telecom, and government, including engagements at Airtel Payments Bank (where I discovered a Remote Code Execution vulnerability), Infosys (43 critical findings in a single one-month engagement), Alshaya Group (19 critical findings), and Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing work for the Indian Defence Forces.

My credibility doesn't rest on claims — it's verifiable. I've published three CVEs (CVE-2(concealed information) through CVE-2(concealed information) in Forcepoint's CSG Portal) and earned Hall of Fame recognition at Forcepoint, Merck, Grab, and SEEK. I've spoken at the Seasides InfoSec Conference, won the Seasides CTF, and founded TheCyberMonk — a Red Team and Application Security knowledge-sharing community. I currently hold CEH v11, CAP (Certified AppSec Practitioner), MCRTA (Multi-Cloud Red Team Analyst), and MAD (MITRE ATT&CK Defender), with the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner currently in progress.

I came into cybersecurity from outside the field — my undergraduate degree is in Mechanical Engineering. I rebuilt my career through self-study, certifications, hands-on labs, and persistence, which means I understand exactly what it takes to break into this industry without a traditional Computer Science background. That perspective shapes how I teach: I respect where every student starts, I never assume prior knowledge, and I'm patient with the foundations.

Teaching is not a side hustle for me. I've been writing technical content on Medium, mentoring through Topmate, and running TheCyberMonk community for years before joining Superprof. What students can expect from me is straightforward: prompt responses to messages, well-structured lessons, professional conduct, real industry knowledge, and an honest assessment of your progress. If I do not believe I'm the right fit for what you need, I will tell you in the free first lesson — I would rather you find the right teacher than waste your time and money.

About the lesson

I teach the way I learned and the way I work professionally: hands-on, on a keyboard, breaking real things, then circling back to understand why it worked. In offensive security, you don't pass an interview by quoting definitions you pass it by demonstrating an attack. So that's the bar I teach to from day one.

Every lesson follows three principles:

Lab-first, theory-second. You'll always be running tools and exploiting real vulnerable systems. Concepts get explained the moment they're needed to land the next attack — never as 30-minute lectures up front. This builds muscle memory and intuition that lectures can't.

Real vulnerabilities, not toy examples. We work with industry-standard practice environments — PortSwigger Web Security Academy, Hack The Box, TryHackMe, OWASP Juice Shop, DVWA — and case studies from real CVEs (including the three I've published in Forcepoint's CSG Portal). You'll see how a real bug looks, not how a textbook describes it.

Adversarial mindset training. Most courses teach "what X is." I teach "how I would break X." Once you start thinking like an attacker, every system you look at becomes a puzzle, and the tools become an extension of your thinking.

What a typical lesson looks like (60 minutes)

5 min — Recap and goal-setting. What did you practice between lessons? What do you want to walk away knowing how to do today?

10 min — Concept scoping. A short, focused walk-through of the technique we'll use — say, SQL injection, IDOR, authentication bypass, or prompt injection on an LLM. Tight and visual, not a lecture.

30 min - Live hands-on attack. You drive the keyboard. I guide. We exploit a real vulnerable target together — finding the bug, weaponizing it, escalating, and documenting it the way you would in a professional engagement. When you get stuck, you stay stuck just long enough to learn — then I unblock.

10 min — Debrief and pattern recognition. Why did the attack work? What was the underlying flaw? Where else have you seen this pattern? This is where junior testers turn into senior ones.

5 min — Homework and next lesson preview. Specific, achievable practice (usually an HTB/THM box or a write-up) that locks in what we covered.

For more advanced students prepping for OSCP, bug bounty, or interviews, sessions shift to timed mock engagements and writeup reviews — the same way I trained junior team members on real red team projects.

What sets me apart

3 published CVEs you can verify. Most tutors talk about vulnerabilities. I'll walk you through ones I personally found, reported, and got assigned CVE numbers for — including the discovery process, the writeup, and the disclosure timeline.
11+ real red team engagements. Including an RCE at Airtel Payments Bank, 43 critical findings at Infosys, and VAPT for the Indian Defence Forces. The techniques I teach aren't theoretical — they've worked against well-defended production systems.
AI/LLM security as a teachable specialty. I led adversarial testing on a production agentic AI system serving 10M+ users — prompt injection, unauthorized actions, tool abuse. Almost no other tutor offers this, and it's the fastest-growing area in the industry right now.

I came in from outside CS. My degree is in Mechanical Engineering. If you're a career-switcher, a dev moving into security, or a non-CS student, I've actually walked your road. I know which fundamentals matter, which ones are noise, and how to compress the learning curve.

I've taught publicly for years. Founder of TheCyberMonk (Red Team & AppSec community), conference speaker at Seasides InfoSec, and active technical writer on Medium. Teaching is something I've been doing in writing and community work long before I did it for pay.

Who these lessons are for

High school students (Class 11–12) curious about ethical hacking or pursuing CS streams.

Undergraduate students (B.Tech / BCA / B.Sc IT, all years) needing help with cybersecurity, computer networks, Linux, Python, or general CS coursework.

Postgraduate students (MCA / M.Sc IT / MS Cybersecurity) working on security projects, thesis work, or specialized topics.
IT professionals and developers pivoting into cybersecurity from sysadmin, DevOps, or software engineering backgrounds.
Aspiring penetration testers and bug bounty hunters wanting structured practice toward their first valid finding.

Security engineers preparing for OSCP, CEH, Burp Suite Certified Practitioner, or interview prep at security-focused companies.
Curious adult learners who want to understand how modern systems — and AI — actually get attacked and defended.

No prior coding experience is required for the fundamentals track. For penetration testing and AI security tracks, basic Linux command-line comfort is helpful but not mandatory — we can start from zero if needed.
