A pentester who builds, a builder who breaks. Sixteen, Arch-pilled, scout-decorated — the record below is published as it happened, not embellished.

RIANTO.
An Arch Linux user who chose the terminal over a social life — no regrets, maybe a few. Sixteen years old, based in Indonesia, and already carrying a national platform as its main developer. When not hunting for security gaps, probably ricing the Hyprland desktop, or explaining why nano is not a real editor.
A WHO I AM
A 16-year-old pentester, red team operator, and ethical hacker who has been breaking things legally since before being old enough for coffee. The first vulnerability showed up at 13 — in the school Wi-Fi, which they still don't know about. Certified Public Speaker (C.Ps), meaning I can talk about CVEs for hours and make it sound like a Netflix special.
B WHAT I BUILD
Full-stack platforms that survive real audiences — like jotajoti.web.id, the national scouting information platform recognized by ayopramuka kwarnas, carried end to end as its main developer. Plus the quieter machinery: one-click installers, automation tooling, and a red-team toolkit built from scratch.
C HOW I WORK
Daily driver: Arch Linux with Hyprland on Wayland, because I like suffering with style — caelestia-dots as the base, rice cleaner than my room. zsh with starship at the prompt, nvim as the only true editor, Catppuccin Mocha throughout. The desktop is tuned for the work that happens between midnight and morning.
D WHAT I BELIEVE
Cybersecurity is not just about defense — it's about understanding attack. You can't build a fortress if you don't know how sieges work. That belief runs through everything: the offensive research, the defensive code, and the systems I ship.
E CURRENT FOCUS
Red-team operations and pentesting in earnest — SQLi, XSS, RCE, the lot — alongside the developer seat at JOTA JOTI Indonesia. The custom toolkit keeps growing with every engagement that exposes a gap.
