Amardeep Maroli
I publish 48+ in-depth guides on API security, web vulnerabilities, penetration testing, and hands-on cybersecurity research — based on real lab work, practical testing, and actual security research. Not theory. Not copied content.
Verified Credentials & Experience
PES University, Bengaluru
Professional Experience
Cybersecurity & Compliance Intern
Active hands-on experience in breach monitoring, threat analysis, SIEM configuration and management, security compliance review, vulnerability assessment, and incident response. Working with industry-standard tools and real-world security scenarios.
Cybersecurity Researcher & Lab Practitioner
160+ completed security labs covering ethical hacking, web application security, network penetration testing, API vulnerabilities, and real-world exploitation scenarios. Every blog post is tested through hands-on lab work before publication.
Who I Am
I'm Amardeep Maroli, an MCA student from Bengaluru currently interning as a Cybersecurity & Compliance Analyst at Inhok Technologies. I've spent 6+ months doing practical cybersecurity research — not reading about it, but actually testing vulnerabilities, building security tools, and documenting everything I learn.
I'm not a corporate content mill or AI-generated author. I'm a hands-on researcher who publishes only what I've tested myself and genuinely understand through practice. Most of my knowledge comes from completing 160+ labs on TryHackMe, working through real vulnerabilities on HackTheBox, and testing my own code and systems.
Why I started this blog: When I was learning cybersecurity, resources fell into two camps — YouTube videos that glossed over details, or technical papers that assumed you already knew everything. I built API Security Guide to fill that gap: practical, hands-on guides written by someone actively learning, for others in the same position.
Technical Skills & Tools
Everything on this blog is based on hands-on practice with real tools. Here's what I work with:
What This Blog Covers
API Security Guide focuses on three core areas of practical cybersecurity:
API & Web Security
Authentication flaws, injection attacks, API vulnerabilities, CORS misconfigurations — explained through real lab work.
Ethical Hacking & Pentesting
Hands-on methodology, Burp Suite walkthroughs, network reconnaissance — lab challenges you can follow along with.
Security Automation
Python scripts for reconnaissance, custom security tools, understanding attack techniques to defend against them.
SIEM & SOC
Wazuh, ELK Stack, Splunk configuration, threat detection, incident response, and practical SOC operations.
Who This Blog Is For
- Complete beginners who want to understand cybersecurity fundamentals and get started with hands-on labs
- Computer Science students in India curious about security and wanting to know what real skills matter
- Developers who want to understand how applications get exploited so they can write secure code
- Aspiring bug bounty hunters who want to master fundamentals before targeting real applications
- Self-taught learners motivated to learn independently without formal training or expensive courses
- SOC analysts and incident responders looking for practical guides on SIEM tools and threat detection
Personal Security Projects
I build security tools and share them publicly on GitHub. Check out my major projects:
- CloudSOC — A SOC simulation platform for learning threat detection and incident response
- AIDDS — An AI-driven intrusion detection system combining machine learning with network analysis
- Security Automation Scripts — Python tools for reconnaissance, payload generation, and security testing

My Research Methodology
Every post on this blog follows the same process:
- 1. Hands-on testing — I reproduce every vulnerability, exploit, or technique in a real lab environment
- 2. Documentation — I document the process with screenshots, code snippets, and detailed explanations
- 3. Verification — I test my explanations again to ensure accuracy and clarity
- 4. Ongoing updates — If tools, techniques, or best practices change, I update the post
No AI-generated content. No recycled blog posts from other sites. No theoretical fluff.
