Hello everybody. I am Sudhir. After working for 5 years into IT infrastructure management (IP network design and implementation) I decided to venture into Information Security. My interest lies in web application security, network security and mobile application security.
I have already gotten my hands dirty with web application security . I still have to venture into the bug bounty world. bugcrowd seemed a good starting point. And so here I am.
I am also learning network pentesting hand in hand and also continue to do IT consulting as that still provides me with bread and butter. Also I love python.
Feels awesome to be here! Hope to learn from you guys as well as contribute to this community. Cheers!!
Our Security Research forum has a collection of great resources that you will want to read as you begin your journey into Security researcher, but I highly recommend you focus on these three:
Hi everyone!, This is Mannu from India,after some web development i have started learning about bug bounty and web application security, and going more depth in it and want to learn more stuffs.
Hello,
My name is Dave and I am totally new the world of Pen Testing. I have been in product test support for over 20+ years in some form or fashion. I was in sales and retail prior to being a support guy.
I have always been intrigued with the level of knowledge that people have. I learned about HPAVC folks when I was asked to be the web master for the contractor to one of the NIH institutes. We were going to go with a Wildcat BBS(yes my age is showing), but then HTTP popped and lo and behold: The Internet. Well, there was the text based internet, but now there were pictures! So the contractor moved away from a BBS and wanted to put up a web page. So I tried to teach myself about security. Cut to today, and I have made a more concerted effort to learn. And having joined here, I want to find bugs! MMM bugs are tasty right?
I look forward to watching and listening and learning and trying things out. I have already taken some security and pen testing courses over at Udemy. I have a Kali image as well as Metasploitable. And yes, I run a VPN when doing all kinds of testing stuff.
I canāt seem to find how to get my bugcrowd.com email setup. I have seen some bounties that ask that we use that email when registering for a website that needs testing. So as to id us from a legit bounty program. Where did I go wrong?
Iāve always been interested in network security. I guess what initially piqued my interest was playing with Sub7 back when Windows 95 was a thing. From there, I just wanted to learn everything about security.
Iāve worked in the security field for a couple years. Doing intrusion detection on networks, which was an eye opening experience. My all time goal is to become a pen-tester, but I feel the the application requirements are sometimes unreasonably high (considering I only hold an associates in computer forensics and a SOC certification).
I really hope to become successful at acquiring bug bounties. Right now I am reading the Web Application Hackers Handbook, which is a pretty good read. I donāt want to jump right into pen-tests right now, because my biggest fear is failure.
Iām always dieing to talk security with people in the field. Maybe I can learn something from you, maybe you can learn from me. So please hit me up.
My name is Khoa, you guys can call me Luo. I always dream about my job as a security researcher, this is my first step through the door. I am ready and very excited to start this field. Hope everyone can help me out. I really appreciate your help. Thank you
My name is Joe, I have been a developer and automation engineer for over 30 years.
I am working on Ethical Hacking course to broaden my skill set. Looking forward to learning new things and start working on some projects on Bugcrowd.
I am currently writing automation for APS.NET web applications for the online billing community.
Looking forward to networking with some fellow Bugcrowd researchers.
Hi everyone,
I am Karel and I enjoy playing different wargames and doing pentest labs since 2010. But it wasnĀ“t regular playtime as I am still considering myself as fan of websec and security.
Few monts ago I realised I want to get deeper in this field and start learning. I am not sure if I will be usefull here, but I want to try my best to learn and progress.
So, I am looking forward to see interesting challenges hereā¦
Figured I would drop by and intro myself. Iām new to the bug bounty scene but definitely not the tech world. Iāve been building and breaking computers for around 10 years. Last year I started learning programming/web dev which has been going good so far. I got interested in bug bounty recently when I stumbled upon hackthissite.org which I used to play around on back in my youth, and it sparked my interest in security and pentesting again.
I hope to learn as well as share a lot and look forward to talking with the community.
My name is Arnaud, iāve just find this page Researcher Resources - How to become a Bug Bounty Hunter while searching some information about about bug bounty, and now, i know that there is a community for that, thatās nice.
Iām no security professional even if iād like to. Iām doing it during my free time and i must say, itās pretty hard to get enough skills to be good at it
Iāve been a student for 2 years at pentesteracademy.com and i tried to get the OSCP certificate but i canāt find 24hrs free time to try the exam
Iāve done some pentesting a year ago for my actual company, and iāve found some XSS, and various SQLi which was pretty critical but no reward at all for this!
To finish, i hope that this commuity will help me improve and maybe finally find my way into this amazing /brain burning world.
If anyone needs to talk or feel like he needs to impart his knowledgeā¦ well iām your guest!
Hi all Iām Dave, currently working as a engineer but hoping to make the move into pen-testing. I have been studying for about 8 months now and am loving the people and community and the new challenge. Any tips pointers, help and criticism will be welcomed
Hi !!
Iām a Systems Engineer and Security Analyst at Siemens, India. I do VAPT of internal products. Iām entirely new to bug bounty hunting, but I expect to learn a lot from experienced personnel here at bugCrowd. Looking for some great time ahead.
Hi everyone!
The nameās Dennis and I started as professional pentester in 2011.
I have no experience with bug bounties specifically, but thought it might be a good way to combine practice with helping to make the internet a safer place.
Iām specifically looking to increase my skills in terms of web application testing.
Hi Everyone reading to my first online presence on bug crowd.Iāve been here a few time reading the blogs and books provided for kick starting into Bug crowd.Not sure which program to start my hunt on.Anyone with suggestions could show me a path towards my sole searching journey into the world of web application bugs.
Iām Nuno, iām studying informatics , my dream is become a security researcher, always ready to learn new things, my interest is security and i dā like to learn more about this field!
