We need to exert a lot of effort and pressure in order to turn into a gemstone. It seems as though he had had a variety of ongoing challenges over a period of twelve years.
The skills he had acquired with consistent and proper dedication were used to solve real-world problems. Solving real-world problems, finding and helping other people, and contributing to the community were what he lived for. A dedicated and talented individual with prior experience in IT.
He had created more experience and his own image with his venerable contribution in all areas of web development, network security, and penetration testing.
With his renowned contributions in every sector, he had gained experience and his own reputation. We should have certain abilities to maintain and advance our expertise in the professional world, but in his case, he has taken over the entire system and has a significant influence practically everywhere. For a very long period, his reputation and contributions persisted in the working world.
There is always a distinct area for him and his contributions in the fields of penetration testing, cryptography, digital forensics, and reverse engineering.

CV Of our legend
What should we learn from Binit?
In addition to existing, Binit had the ambition of producing more of his kind.We should learn to be curious and always have a hunger for learning new things, dedicating our time to solving real-world problems, making a change in people’s lives, contributing to open source and community, building it , and helping people. Because life is short, we must do everything productive we can in a short period of time for our own mortality and to contribute to mortality.
He will be remembered as our greatest contributor and all-time leader, and this loss will never leave anyone’s mind. As our all-time Nepali ethnonalist, he will be committed to being our biggest contributor.
We will always Miss You Binit , Rest In peace BINIT 💖
