My Story
I'm Lokesh Singh -- you may know me as Mr Elite from the articles, courses, and labs on this site. I founded Securityelites because there was no canonical destination for someone who wanted to learn AI red team work the way you'd learn web pentesting on TryHackMe or network attacks on HackTheBox. I built the place I wished existed when I started.
My day-to-day is a mix of penetration testing engagements, AI red team research, and content creation. The site you're on publishes everything I learn -- prompt injection techniques that worked on real targets, jailbreak research synthesis, OWASP LLM Top 10 walkthroughs, hands-on labs you can run locally. Free, no paywall, no email-wall.
I designed the SE-ARTCP credential because the field needed a hands-on AI red team certification before SANS or EC-Council got around to building one. The exam blueprint, the lab scenarios, the question bank -- I authored or supervised all of it. When you earn an SE-ARTCP, my name is on the cert as the issuer.
If you want to work with me directly: enterprise training engagements, custom AI red team assessments, conference speaking, or coordinated disclosure on AI products -- the contact paths below all reach me personally.

On Mr Elite
"Mr Elite" is my teaching persona. When you read an article on this site, take a course, or watch a video, that's the voice you'll hear. The persona predates Securityelites — it grew out of years of writing tutorials and walkthroughs for the cybersecurity community before this site existed. I keep using it because it works as a teaching device. The substance and the credentials are mine. The persona is just how I teach.
