Introducing Destawell

Mobile-First Security Research | AI Red Teaming | Open-Source Tooling

Who We Are

I’m Niranj R. Mahaswar — Co-Founder & Lead Security Researcher at Destawell, alongside Shifana (Miyano) who leads brand strategy and community.

Destawell is a cybersecurity research brand focused on three core areas:

  1. Android Penetration Testing Infrastructure — Building tools for Termux, Kali NetHunter, and ARM64 mobile environments
  2. AI Red Teaming — Testing LLM safety alignment and responsible disclosure
  3. 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.

  • Gemini 2.5 Pro → Generated functional exploit primitives
  • Claude 3, GPT-4o, Llama 3, GitHub Copilot → All refused
