Level: Zero tech

Abstract:
I intend to present my journey as a Penetration Tester, trying to inspire and motivate youngsters to follow this path.

Bio:
Razvan Ionescu, Head of Offensive Security Services at Pentest-Tools.com. He spent the last decade+ deep in the world of ethical hacking and application security, breaking into complex systems so teams can build and ship software that’s actually secure.
His work focuses on uncovering business-impacting vulnerabilities in web apps, APIs, and AI-powered systems — especially the logic flaws, privilege issues, and hidden assumptions that tools rarely catch.

He is also GSE-certified (#298), one of the few security professionals globally to earn the GIAC Security Expert certification. For him, it’s less about the badge and more about the path to get there: years of hands-on testing, real-world problem-solving, and a constant desire to understand how things fail.

At Pentest-Tools.com, he leads offensive security engagements across industries. His goal is simple: turn complex technical findings into clear, practical guidance that developers and security teams can use immediately. Whether it’s bypassing access controls or chaining business logic flaws across AI-driven workflows, he enjoys the process of breaking things apart and helping others put them back together, stronger.
