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
