About me

Greetings! I’m Janindu Bashitha, also known as Kra1t in the cybersecurity community. I specialize in ethical hacking, penetration testing, and OSINT. I've earned 5th place nationally and previously ranked in the global top 100 on Hack The Box. I’m currently building BlackFang OS — a custom penetration testing operating system that merges my technical, creative, and investigative interests. I also explore areas like forensic psychology, body language analysis, and read about military tactics and strategies to sharpen my thinking and investigative skills. I'm pursuing a Bachelor of IT from the University of Colombo School of Computing, constantly pushing myself to master new domains. I speak Sinhala, English, and Hindi, and I’m learning Russian and German. Outside the terminal, I draw, play flamenco guitar, and produce music in FL Studio. I’m always evolving — striving to contribute meaningfully to cybersecurity and beyond.
