Lint Contest Platform
A coding practice and contest platform — problems, a sandboxed code runner, contests and a leaderboard, with student, faculty and admin roles.

Lint is a small, student-run tech studio in Gwalior. We do hands-on R&D in security, hardware and web, and we train students on real projects along the way. We're early, and we build in the open.
// what we build
Everything here is something we're actually working on. Some of it runs today, some is in progress, some is research. We'll tell you which is which.

Next.js · PostgreSQL · Redis · DockerA secure-coding assessment platform (built for Smart India Hackathon 2026). The plan is to use AI to review student code for vulnerabilities, explain the fix, and help grade — inside a locked-down exam environment.
Assessment · proctoring · AI reviewReverse-engineering a proprietary router (Beetel 777VR1) with no datasheet — UART console, SPI flash dumps, Ghidra. We've mapped its firmware's LED control surface and are closing in on the raw GPIO registers.
UART · SPI · binwalk · Ghidra · MIPSOur own research. We use the full fruit-fly connectome (MaleCNS v1.0, about 166,700 neurons, nothing trained) as a fixed reservoir for reservoir computing. In simulation it already reacts to what it sees and hears and moves a physics body, for example running from looming motion. The next step is hardware: feed it real sensor input and drive a physical body with servo motors.

RAG · retrieval · LLM// how it works
Lint runs as a studio, not a course. You join, you work on live projects, and you grow into the paid work as it comes in.
We teach hands-on skills — firmware RE, web security, building real apps.
You get practical tasks matched to your level, with honest feedback.
Finish your tasks and get a certificate for your college record.
When paid client work lands, the members who've shown the most get the work — and get paid for it.
▸ straight talk
We're at the start. We're still learning, and the honest way we learn is by breaking and fixing our own systems first before we touch anyone else's.
We're not a security firm, and we don't pretend to be one. Everything we test is our own hardware, or a system we have written permission to test.
// join
We're looking for students who want to go deep on real engineering — security, hardware, AI, full-stack — and help build the studio, not just pass through. If that's you, send a line about what you want to work on.
