Aniket writes about the two things a login depends on before any password is typed: the address in the bar and the code on the phone. Both can be faked in look; neither can be faked in origin, and his pages are about checking the origin.
He spent years in a telecom support role, where he learned how commercial SMS are routed in India and why a genuine service message arrives from a short lettered sender rather than from a person's mobile number.

What he covers
- Codes. Who generates a one-time code, who checks it, and why every "bypass" turns out to be a way of getting the code from its owner.
- Senders. What a registered SMS header looks like, and what it means when a "code" arrives from an ordinary number or inside a chat.
- Addresses. Why numbers such as 99 and 365 are parts of addresses rather than versions, and how to find the one where an account was created.

How he works
He tests every check on his own phones before describing it, and he leaves out any step that only works on one brand of handset. He does not visit links sent by agents, and he never names an address as working or fake.
