Bug Bounties: WhiteHat Hacking for Fun and Profit

About this course

A  career as a bug bounty hunter is something we should all strive for.  It's a way to earn money in a fun way while making this world a better  (at least a more bug-free) place. If you think that's something you  would like, this bug bounty course is just for you.Reporting Bugs Pays Well!In  this bug bounty course, you will learn how to earn while sitting  comfortably in your home and drinking coffee. You can use bug bounty  programs to level the cybersecurity playing field, cultivate a mutually  rewarding relationship with the security researcher community and  strengthen security in all kinds of systems.While the practice  of catching and reporting web bugs is nothing new (and have been going  on for at least 20 years), widespread adoption of this practice by  enterprise organisations has only now begun lifting off.World-known  companies like Facebook or Google are spending a lot of money for  bounties, so it's just the right time to hop on the gravy train.For  example, Google pays a minimum of 100 dollars bounty. While Facebook  announced that the company determines the bounties based on a variety of  factors, for example, ease of exploitation, quality of the report and  impact. However, if Facebook pays out the bounty, it's a minimum of 500  dollars (though extremely low-risk issues do not qualify for bounties).People  won as many as 33500 dollars for reporting bounties for Facebook.  Actually, the cases where bounty hunters got paid extremely well while  reporting bugs are endless.Become a White Hat HackerIn  this course, you will find out how to find bugs in websites.
