Hello 👋, I’m Aathil Ahamed, also known online as Aathil Ducky.
I’m a final-year Computer Science student from Sri Lanka and a passionate cybersecurity enthusiast with a strong interest in ethical hacking, penetration testing, and security research.
Over the years, I’ve explored different areas in technology — from Python development and web applications to SEO and automation. But what excites me the most is cybersecurity: breaking things, understanding how they work, and learning how to secure them.
Why PwnTrends?
I started PwnTrends with a simple vision:
👉 To create a space where cybersecurity knowledge is shared, simplified, and made practical.
On this platform, I’ll be sharing:
- Trending Exploits & Vulnerabilities – explained in an easy-to-follow way.
- CTF Challenges & Walkthroughs – to help beginners and enthusiasts sharpen their skills.
- Cybersecurity Case Studies – real-world attack breakdowns and lessons learned.
- Tools & Cheat Sheets – practical resources for learners and professionals.
My Motivation
When I first got into cybersecurity, it felt overwhelming — endless tools, techniques, and complex concepts. What kept me going was the community of like-minded people who shared their experiences, walkthroughs, and failures openly.
Now, through PwnTrends, I want to give back.
This blog is not just for me, but for anyone who is curious, motivated, and passionate about learning, hacking, and building safer digital systems.
