Introducing Destawell — Mobile-First Security Research & Open-Source Tooling

Destawell, a cybersecurity research brand co-founded by Niranj R. Mahaswar and Shifana (Miyano), has launched a suite of open-source tools for mobile-first security research and AI red teaming. The tools, including Termux-fixer, Kali-Termux-Pro, Wraith-Scanner, and Kali_Critic, target Android ARM64 devices to address the gap between desktop and mobile security tooling. The team also identified a safety alignment bypass in Gemini 2.5 Pro related to CVE-2023-32233, which was reported to Google but marked out of scope.

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

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:

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.

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.

Recently identified a safety alignment bypass in Gemini 2.5 Pro related to CVE-2023-32233 — a Linux kernel race condition in nf_tables.

Disclosure: Google IssueTracker #889286 / Google AI VRP

Status: Marked out of scope by Google — documentation public

More tool releases, deeper LLM red teaming research, and expanding our mobile pentesting ecosystem.

If you're working on Android security, Termux automation, or AI safety — let's connect. — Niranj, Destawell
