Introducing Destawell
Mobile-First Security Research | AI Red Teaming | Open-Source Tooling
Who We Are
I'm Niranj R. Mahaswar — Founder & Lead Security Researcher at Destawell, alongside **Shifana-(Co-Founder & Brand Strategy ) who leads brand strategy and community.
Destawell is a cybersecurity research brand focused on three core areas:
- Android Penetration Testing Infrastructure — Building tools for Termux, Kali NetHunter, and ARM64 mobile environments
- AI Red Teaming — Testing LLM safety alignment and responsible disclosure
- Open-Source Mobile Tooling — Automation-first solutions for security researchers
Why I Started Destawell
The gap between desktop security tooling and mobile environments is massive. Most Termux users struggle with broken dependencies, incomplete Kali deployments, and no clear path for no-root pentesting.
Destawell exists to close that gap.
What We've Built So Far
| Tool | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Termux-fixer | Automated error resolution for common Termux issues |
| Kali-Termux-Pro | No-root Kali toolchain deployment on Android |
| Wraith-Scanner | Lightweight network discovery for mobile |
| Kali_Critic | Real-time output analysis for Kali Linux |
All tools target Android ARM64 and are open-source.
Featured Research
Recently identified a safety alignment bypass in Gemini 2.5 Pro related to CVE-2023-32233 — a Linux kernel race condition in nf_tables.
