Behind the
handle.

I like finding the part of a system that doesn't behave.

I'm Triffin Augustine, widely known in the security community as TrffnSec. I'm a penetration tester, bug bounty hunter, and security researcher with a strong passion for discovering real-world vulnerabilities and helping organizations strengthen their security posture.

My journey into ethical hacking started from pure curiosity and evolved into a professional pursuit as I began hunting vulnerabilities across public and private bug bounty programs. Over time, I've identified and responsibly disclosed security issues including XSS, Host Header Injection, IDOR, access control flaws, and logic vulnerabilities across well-known platforms, universities, and enterprise applications.

Today, I document findings through detailed write-ups on Medium, sharing attack paths, methodologies, and lessons learned. Alongside hunting, I focus on continuous learning, tool development, and community knowledge-sharing - practical, experience-driven security research is the whole point.
