Cyber security domain always talks about lack of skilled resources. We decided not to whine but rather help with the cause.
At Cyfinoid, our interns don’t just shadow projects – they build. We offer paid internships where students are given real challenges that map to active research or training needs. With mentorship, they design, implement, and release complete tools. Many of these end up as open-source contributions used by the community.
What makes our internships different
- Hands-on from day one → interns take ownership of real projects.
- Paid, not unpaid labor → we value their time and contribution.
- Mentorship, not micromanagement → guidance is given, but the work is theirs.
- Open-source output → successful projects are released publicly with interns’ names credited.

Internship Project
Author: Vansh Bulani
This Android APK analysis tool is a fast, modular, and extensible platform designed to bridge the long-standing gap between speed and depth in mobile application security analysis. Unlike traditional tools like Pithus that often suffer from high processing times and rigid workflows, our solution allows users to selectively run open-source tools in parallel, significantly reducing analysis time. Built on a containerized architecture, each analysis component runs independently in Docker, enabling seamless scalability and CI/CD integration. Results are unified and indexed using ElasticSearch, allowing for rapid, structured querying across diverse tool outputs. The platform is purpose-built for developers, researchers, and security professionals who need actionable insights – fast.

Internship Project
Author: Johnny Antony Puthur
This project contains an intentionally Vulnerable Android Application. This project serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking to enhance their understanding of mobile application security. By providing a hands-on environment to explore and comprehend various vulnerabilities, this project facilitates practical learning in an interactive manner.
Participants can leverage this platform to identify common security weaknesses, develop effective mitigation strategies, and ultimately contribute to the advancement of secure mobile application development practices. Through deliberate exposure to vulnerabilities, individuals can refine their skills, stay abreast of emerging threats, and play a pivotal role in fortifying the mobile application landscape.

Why this matters
We believe the best way to fix the “skills gap” is to give people a real chance to build. Every intern who contributes here has tangible proof of what they’ve achieved, and the community benefits from fresh, working tools.
