mission:     Find real vulnerabilities before attackers do — no checkbox audits

I'm Ali Essam, a cybersecurity professional with 8+ years of hands-on experience finding and closing security gaps in web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.

I'm the Founder & CEO of Alphacode, where I lead penetration testing, vulnerability research, and red-team engagements for organizations that need real, evidence-based security work. My reports have earned Hall of Fame recognition on multiple bug bounty platforms.

I split my time between offensive security engagements, building open-source security tooling, and mentoring newer researchers through my bug bounty roadmap.

🎯 What I Do

🕵️ Penetration Testing

Web & API security — deep assessments surfacing SQLi, XSS, CSRF, RCE, SSRF, IDOR, and more
Cloud security — auditing AWS and Azure for misconfigurations and exposure
Red teaming — simulating real attacker behavior to test detection and response

🏹 Bug Bounty Hunting

Active researcher on HackerOne, Bugcrowd, and private programs
Multiple Hall of Fame placements for responsible disclosure
Focus on original exploitation methodology over scanner defaults

🛠️ Research & Tooling

Building and maintaining open-source security tools
WAF bypass research and detection-evasion techniques
Recon & vulnerability discovery automation in Python
