Security researcher and tool builder

I explore how software breaks and build practical tools along the way.

About

Portrait of Tint Naing Win

I am a security researcher with a strong interest in how systems break and how to make them more resilient. My research spans web application security, API security and the security of AI powered applications, and I build open source tools and Telegram bots to support that work.

I approach security from the fundamentals: how the web and networks actually work, where authentication and authorization tend to go wrong, and how to explain risk clearly to the people responsible for fixing it. Alongside my studies I practice responsible disclosure and have reported issues to universities, institutions and companies.

Areas of focus

  • 01

    Web Application Security

    Authentication, session handling, access control and the common vulnerability classes behind real world breaches.

  • 02

    API Security

    Authorization logic, input validation and data exposure risks in modern REST services.

  • 03

    AI and LLM Security

    Prompt injection, data leakage and defensive design for applications built on language models.

  • 04

    Network and Systems

    Networking fundamentals, Linux administration and secure configuration of deployed services.

  • 05

    Tools and Automation

    Building practical tools and Telegram bots that automate repetitive security and everyday tasks.

  • 06

    Responsible Disclosure

    Documenting issues clearly and working with the teams who own them until they are resolved.
