Bug Bounty Hunting - Swiss Cyber Storm 2016

In October 2016, I was pleased to speak at the Swiss Cyber Storm 2016 conference about Bug Bounty Hunting and my experience as a Bug Bounty Hunter.

About the Talk #

The talk discusses Bug Bounty Programs from various domains. The talk discusses the usage of Bug Bounty Programs for companies and how it can be implemented within a company to have a better security cycle. I also explained common pitfalls done by companies and how they can affect their Bug Bounty Program.

In the end, I closed the talk by showing several exciting findings in the last two months when doing bug hunting (August 2016 - September 2016). The hunting targets were SwissCom, the leading Swiss telecommunication provider, and Symantec, the world’s leading security company.

Eventually, I gave a note on the information security scene in the Middle East and how difficult it is to develop as an ethical hacker in the Middle East.
