About Hacks and Bytes and Me

Hi, I'm Aditya — a fellow enjoyer of video games, music, sports, movies, and puzzles! I’ve completed my bachelor’s in computer science and I'm currently in the final year of my MBA.

Cybersecurity has been a growing passion of mine for the past few years. I’ve spent time researching here and there, but I still consider myself a total beginner in the field.

I used to binge-watch hacking videos on YouTube, pretending I understood everything, trying to replicate the steps like I had it all figured out. Eventually, it all became too overwhelming — and for a while, I felt like maybe this wasn’t meant for me. It felt like I’d already seen everything… but truthfully, this is just the beginning.

That’s exactly why I created Hacks and Bytes.

This blog is for moving bit by byte, one byte at a time — together. I want to document my journey as I explore cybersecurity, one step at a time. It’s a journey for learners, by a learner. If even one person finds inspiration to begin their own path through this blog — that would mean the world to me.

Here, you won’t find overly complex technical content. Instead, you’ll find honest wins, tough struggles, raw thoughts, and personal growth.

This is not just a blog — it's a reminder that grit, curiosity, and small, consistent steps can take you far… really far, into the corners of your own potential
