Proud Moment for Destawell: Our Founder & Lead Researcher Niranj R. Mahaswar Acknowledged by NASA (VDP)

We at Destawell are proud to share a major milestone for our team.

Our Founder & Lead Security Researcher, Niranj R. Mahaswar (19), has received an official Letter of Recognition from NASA under their Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (VDP).

At Destawell, our focus has always been Mobile-First Security Research, AI Red Teaming, and Open-Source Tooling — from tools like Termux-fixer, Kali-Termux-Pro to our recent research on Gemini 2.5 Pro safety alignment bypass (CVE-2023-32233).

This recognition from NASA is a validation of the responsible disclosure culture we promote at Destawell.

About Niranj:
19-year-old Security Researcher, Founder of Destawell, author of GHSA-259w-wmqg-fp76, Certified LLM Security Professional.

We thank the NASA VDP team for acknowledging independent researchers and for giving our community a chance to contribute.

This is just the beginning for Destawell.
