I am a bug bounty hunter. Currently at 2022, I am still intermediate level and have lots of work to do. My main focus is bug hunting so I won’t be writing on Medium so often, but I would like to use this platform to share my stories/ideas/etc.

Honestly, the main reason for writing is just to organize my own thoughts and critical analysis of the bug bounty world. But if the audience can benefit from it, great. Having an audience pressures me to write quality content rather than just my own notes which can get pretty messy with random thoughts.

And if I can earn some passive income, that’s great too.

Main target is people who like hacking and is very interested in starting out with bug bounties.

If I can be a little bit of inspiration to others (my own motivation to keep going too)

Anyone different from normal society/just can’t fit in anywhere else/tried hard but failed at pretty much everything else/feels unnecessary worthlessness in this pretty much fake society.Any bug hunter that is not a first mover. Hacker side is different because attack surface is only going to keep growing exponentially, with many different types of new vulnerabilities coming out frequently (no real saturation like marketing side)Anybody that doesn’t have IT as their biggest strength.

I personally think bug bounties is where UNIQUE people can shine brightly. The whole point of being a hacker is “someone who is different from traditional society”. If you can fit into normal society, might as well just do social marketing related…

I definitely don’t want to give false hope to beginner bug bounty hunters because this does take a lot of effort. Having a few lucky findings might be possible but to continue long term is definitely hard. But if you really want it too, let’s progress together.
