I would like to show my gratitude towards my parents, who have been supportive of me throughout this journey. I would also like to thank my friends and colleagues at BugsBounty, including Ishaan, Harpreet, Aman, Yash, Suman, Manish, and Sitanshu, without whom I would have completed this book six months ago. Lastly, I am grateful to Packt for giving me this exciting opportunity.
