WHO I AM
Precision. Systems. Defense.
Cybersecurity specialist, systems builder and digital forensics practitioner.
I design and build secure systems from the ground up — from a sovereign, hardened Linux distribution to a self-contained systems programming language and language-level tooling.
My work spans offensive and defensive security, digital forensics and incident response, cloud security and operating-system engineering. I research the direction of cyber defense and publish what I learn.
I am the Founder & Director of RAKSHANEX TECHNOLOGIES, and the author of four books on security, forensics and cloud.
NAME
PIYUSH KUMAR
Founder & Director — RAKSHANEX TECHNOLOGIES
SELECTED WORK
Systems, secured.
Three flagship projects spanning operating-system engineering, digital forensics and language design.
OmniCore OS
Sovereign Hardened Linux Distribution
A government/military-grade cybersecurity workstation built on the RAKSHANEX Sovereign Linux base (Linux From Scratch 12.2) — no Ubuntu, no third-party distro dependency.
AgentTrace
DFIR for AI-Agent Security Incidents
A digital forensics and incident response approach focused on AI-agent activity — reconstructing what an autonomous agent did, when, and with what evidence.
RUDRA
Systems Programming Language
A compiled, memory-safe systems language with a fully self-contained backend: it emits x86-64 machine code and writes the native executable itself — no C compiler, assembler or linker.
MORE WORK
A broader body of work.
Forensics tooling, secure communications, threat intelligence and research browsers — additional systems built end to end.
TraceForensics
Network Evidence & Endpoint Intelligence
Offline, air-gapped DFIR platform that ingests already-captured .pcap evidence, reconstructs flows, endpoints, DNS and a timeline, verifies chain of custody, and produces a court-ready report. Zero third-party dependencies.
TRAKSHAN
Satellite Command & Telemetry Forensics
Ground-side forensics for satellite telecommand/telemetry logs — detects tampered, spoofed and missing commands deterministically. CCSDS packet parsing, hash-chained custody, crypto-agile (ML-DSA/Dilithium ready). RAKSHANEX TECHNOLOGIES.
MobiTrace
Court-Admissible Mobile Forensics
Read-only logical mobile forensics for authorized investigations — analyzes devices, backups and extracted databases, carves deleted SQLite records, extracts EXIF, and signs reproducible reports with full chain of custody.
Project KAVACH
Hardened Android Field Communicator
Defensive platform design that hardens a commercial Android phone into a secure field communicator: Signal-protocol E2EE, multi-transport with satellite fallback, on-device translation and passive IMSI-catcher detection.
CTI-OS
Cyber Threat Intelligence Platform
Event-driven microservices platform for threat-intel collection, normalization, enrichment, knowledge-graph correlation, multi-agent scoring and automated SOC response — multi-tenant and security-first.
Aethra Browser
Security-Focused Research Browser
An Electron browser with built-in security tooling: HTTP/HTTPS request interception, a page scanner for XSS/SQLi and security-header issues, and an integrated analysis panel. Bundled as the default browser in OmniCore OS.
