Story!! I can't tell you how many people I have talked to that want to get into Cyber Security in general to make money. I do my best to get them to understand that you have to have a passion for it. Like you said, money is a secondary goal. I also ask them if they are willing to spend 1 month focusing on one topic to understand it. I also lay out just how broad of a filed it is. People just see the dollar signs and want to chase them.
Where there is a will, there will ALWAYS be a way! The question is: how much time, effort, and devotion is it worth to you? You can sit all day thinking of reasons why you can’t do it, or you can redirect all that energy toward making it happen! What I have learned: people My reason for all the time and effort: when I am 90, all I will have to do in 2070 to make money is sit down to a laptop. All I will need is my laptops, WiFi, my fingers and my brain.
I believe the issue lies in the way all channels discuss Bug Bounty programs, portraying it as if a Senior Software Developer with 20 years of experience is telling a Junior how easy it is to find a job and earn a lot of money. However, the reality is quite different. Engaging in Bug Bounty programs could be likened to pursuing it as a hobby when you already have a steady income from your primary work. Otherwise, there's a 98% chance of being left with no money.
I don’t fully agree. It all depends on your background. I know red teamers and people with the right background making the switch and being happy but just like any other career you can’t just switch over night if you have no experience.
Exactly as you said Ben, We all deal with higher highs and lower lows, But if you're passionate about it when the downs come -and they will-. You will at least have a good aspect about it. And I never forget zwink words, when it comes to the dark side about Bug Hunting, And I quote from him "Bug bounties is like playing slot machines, One program will take 6 months to respond, down grade all your issues, mark them all N/A or weasel out of paying, While others will respond in 15 minutes, pay in 30 minutes, and fix the issue in 45, Pull the lever, see if you win." I wish you all a successful journey ❤✌
I love cyber security but not knowing how to program is now holding me back, you can only go so far before you need to catch up on that technical debt. Now I'm taking a step back and doing CS50.
@@CenterZero_DeadSecurity. Unless you are focusing on reverse engineering and malware research, assembly is not required. Also knowing programming can be irrelevant for Web and API testing. Being able to read code to understand what it does is also more important than writing the same code from scratch. E.g. You could review a proof of concept sending an HTTP request to leverage a vulnerability and then send the same request in a different way.
Your videos are consistently valuable @NahamSec. First, we must learn to identify and fix software issues. Secondly, wealth follows as you build your knowledge. It demands dedication and time, yet with passion and clear goals, attaining wealth becomes increasingly achievable. Thank you!
I don't know about what you need in your life, but get a job and do Bug Bounty on the side as a "hobby" until you can live from it. It is what I'm going to start doing in two months.
You have to study it! If you think you can just find exploits by executing some pre-set steps, you are diluting yourself. You must know how the technology works.
I am wanting to do them for learning and experience. I never expected it to be a get rich quick plan. Money would be a bonus but with job hunting taking longer than wanted at least my reward will be things I can put on a resume
What would you say to someone who is 38, new to hacking with above average IT experience, little programming experience and wants to do this as a career / make a living?
Look, I'm going to be honest; at this point I'd feel pretty good about myself if I submitted a report that was marked as a 'duplicate'. At least I'd feel like I was making some progress...

I really don't see a point until I get to the level of white box pentesting to waste my time on this crap. Black box seems pointless at this point without a great deal of experience. Bug bounties are dumb.
So, he also have issues with the platforms but only now he describes them a little bit. There are a lot of things to talk about the dark side of bug bounty hunting.

You’re only sharing the good parts of your experience and not the negative ones. That’s what people complain about
the negative part is you cant get money. Is this enough ?

@@NahamSec Exactly👍
@@NahamSecis it realistic for someone with no coding experience to be making money in their first year of doing these "bug bounties"?
@@karl3637 No. You should be at least a middle full stack software developer and have a good understanding of how things work under the hood.

Challange Accepted ; "MORE" ... Thanks for the Motivation NahamSec
all you said is true
i am making a little money from it.. But it is really difficult
consistency and patients is key
Brother can you teach me something ?
Hey how much do you make per month?
I love cyber security but not knowing how to program is now holding me back, you can only go so far before you need to catch up on that technical debt. Now I'm taking a step back and doing CS50.
know how to program is easy.
you learn some courses with some tools and think can become a hacker ?
@@tokyotoronto6028 Who said that?

For me bug bounties are for gaining experience with live targets.

So should i focus on bug Bounty now or getting an entry lvl position

+1. Get a job and do it on the side if you have free time.
Thanks for the video! It's been informative! what are the books behind you?

everyone know that.
@@tokyotoronto6028 Why are people clicking on "make 1000€ with this bug" then?
Hi, @NahamSec! Please, tell us how do you orgonise your notes? Which tools do you use?
Hii Ben i just enjoy bug hunting. That's why I don't give up it's like game for me with curiosity.
I am wanting to do them for learning and experience. I never expected it to be a get rich quick plan. Money would be a bonus but with job hunting taking longer than wanted at least my reward will be things I can put on a resume
Love it.💯
Same, I think my probabilities of finding a critical bug are higher than finding a job right now, the job market is ridiculously screwed...
Yes! Please do your origin story and how you started and how you found your first bug 😊
What would you say to someone who is 38, new to hacking with above average IT experience, little programming experience and wants to do this as a career / make a living?
you can't do this. That my answere. Just do another thing. 38 is just fucking old.
@@tokyotoronto6028do you do this for a living , just want to know about your experience in this field
Try it, see if it fits you and then choose what to do next, whether to continue with it or going after something else, that's all...
This bg music, its surreal .I need it , can you share the name that would be appreciated. and reality is reality..
Me too
Can you talk about the future of bug bounties and is it still worth to do it for next 5 or 10 years?
You know what, I will try bug bounty path , and see where it leads me. Just need to grind it, like any other stuff in life.
dont waste your money.
how's it going dude?
@@tokyotoronto6028 did you waste your money and now regret?
Life stories are always interesting and in some way inspirational that lead to endorsement. Thanks
Hey master!!! I am a newbie in this world of hacking i am so confused what should i do should i get job or go for full time bug bounty
get job, focus on learning and becoming better instead of money
@@xhunterx914 thanks ❤
Good video. Whole story please!
full course for bug bounty
But that happens to every career you pursue, some make it some not. Even when you start your
Own business. That’s life.
that why he selling course.
Thanks naham another useful video from you . really appreciate it .
Look, I'm going to be honest; at this point I'd feel pretty good about myself if I submitted a report that was marked as a 'duplicate'.
At least I'd feel like I was making some progress...
It is a progress!
yes it is a progress.
The music that in the back is making noise
i stared doing bug bounty just for fun, did not make any money but i am learning from real experience and thats most important thing.
no dont waste your time for this shit.
How can I convince my family
You can't, do it for yourself if you really want to go for this...
