Bug Bounty Hunting - Swiss Cyber Storm 2016
- 1 min
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.
