I need a researcher who lives and breathes application security and can turn technical findings into clear, well-structured writing each week. Your core task will be to study current techniques for identifying vulnerabilities in modern apps—everything from OWASP Top 10 issues to emerging threats in micro-service architectures—and distill your findings into concise reports, articles, or white-paper style pieces.

What I expect every week
• One original, citation-rich paper (1,200–1,500 words) focused on a chosen vulnerability topic
• Practical examples or small code snippets that illustrate the issue and its exploitation path
• A brief summary section that highlights key mitigation steps developers can adopt right away

The rhythm
We will agree on the topic by Monday, you deliver the draft by Friday. I review over the weekend and send feedback so you can refine it the following week. For this ongoing collaboration I have set aside ₹350–₹400 per week; if that rate is acceptable, great—we can keep this going for months.

Must-haves
• Hands-on experience with static/dynamic analysis tools (e.g., Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, SonarQube).
• Strong command of academic referencing (IEEE or APA).
• Previous writing samples on cybersecurity—send at least two links or PDFs.

Nice-to-haves
• Familiarity with CVE reporting workflow.
• Ability to create simple diagrams in draw.io or Lucidchart.

Acceptance criteria
A submission is complete when it meets the agreed word count, is plagiarism-free, uses proper citations, and clearly explains at least one vulnerability discovery method alongside proof-of-concept or code analysis.

Start your proposal with “400” so I know you read the full brief. I’m looking forward to building a consistent, long-term schedule with the right person.
