    Thank you for putting your thoughts into this. Those are valuable tips, though it's worth mentioning time management, scheduling, noting, constant learning, burnout prevention, etc, which are important for long-time success. Bug bounty has been my main source of income for 4 years already, where 3 years were part-time, 1 year was full-time bug hunting while nomading, and I can confirm that having an established fund before getting started in such a venture is crucial, and not doing so might be reckless. The problem isn't only not finding a bug but also an inability to get a payout because the program pays in a Resolved state - e.g., I was waiting for 4 months to get a bounty from Salesforce.

    Hello Naham, can we ask you to create a video where you share your screen with us and showing us step by step how you subscribe into a bug bounty program and also what we need to take into account when we start, matters of regulation etc. How to contain your findings, so other hackers won't exploit these findings. The reason why I am asking is first to understand how relevant doing bug bounty still is in 2023 and how hard it has become. Hopefully you can find the time to do this, thanks again for the video.grts

    I'm 61, retired, and like all baby boomers I need extra income but the economy is bad a lot of business won't hire someone of my age, etc, etc. So I'm left up to my own resource to provide some income for myself and I have chosen to take on this task simply because I love challenges and this seems like a good one to undertake. I'm going to document my whole journey on UA-cam hopefully for other old people to see and learn from because there is a huge shortage of trained people in the security industry. You're my first video I'm watching after searching on "bug bountry" yea I know very broad but you were #1

    "Hey @NahamSec , I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the knowledge and insights you've been sharing with the bug bounty community. Your expertise has been incredibly valuable in helping many of us grow in this field.
    I've been following your journey and absorbing as much information as I can, but I must admit I'm feeling a bit frustrated about getting started myself. The world of bug hunting seems both exciting and intimidating. Do you have any tips or guidance for newcomers like me who are eager to take that first step? Your advice would mean a lot.

    so to sum up your vid and blog post, it s possible but you need an initial runaway cash bundle to feel safe and a bunch of friends to push you further away from your soft limit.
    i definitely recommend to every one here to go read your blog post if interested in the subject, it gives more insight on the how and what, like your initial thought on 50% hunting only or the fact that attending conferences / hackathon made you understand how to handle a big hunting program correctly.

    It depends where you live. I live in the countryside where regional minimum wage is around US$155 per month.
    Until October this year I got US$5.550 from bug bounty. My job is merchant on the market. I prefer BB as a part time job although being a full time BB hunter is worth financially.
    What I'm afraid of BB if I go full time is I will face a lot of burn out. So I do BB in my free time & do it for fun.

      If you are beginner in this field, i recommend you to learn from various resources such as portswigger web security academy, ctf from hackerone.
      At first, choose VDP rather than VRP, because finding bug in VDP is easier than VRP. You will get some experiences at writing report & make a good communication with the triagers.
      Enhance your debugging skill, because in my experience I have found lot of bugs by debugging javascript on the front end. This is because people generally avoid reading minified javascript file.
      Choose at least 1 complex BBP and you stick with it for months, understand the features, you will get some bugs if you are persistence because complex programs produce more bugs rather than the simple ones.
      Never stop learning

    Hey Ben, quick question for you. I'm a senior cybersec student. I'm trying to get into bug bounty but I am a little bit overwhelmed. I do have experience with general security which will cover most of the security principles and concepts. There are tons of labs and vulnerable apps to learn bug bounty/web security, but there are sooo many of them which I start to feel overwhelmed, I don't know which one to start and finish due to amount of resources. My question is that should I just dive right into bug bounty by choosing a target and learn as I go? I am not sure if this is good way to start since I won't be that much knowledgeable at first. What are your opinions on that? I would be really appreciate if you take your time and write back to me. Thank you in advance. Best luck!

    Bug bounty as a living is financial suicide. Companies aren't fair, they require you to PoC or even deliver exploits to absolutely everything. They establish weird scope, and platforms can claim your finding is duplicate without ever disclosing the initial report. Only the top 0.1% can make a living out of this. Content creator (sponsored by platforms) should be more honest about the hard reality of bug huntings and stop selling dreams to newcomers.

    Well we like it or not bug bounties are for the very few leet hackers out there,that they 've been doing it for a long time like Ben. The newcomers that can make a living out of bb are very few too.The competition is huge, the automation from the leets plays a crucial role and i don't believe there is more than 40-50 hackers globally than can make a living out of bb's. You can confirm that if you see the hackers that go to the live hacking events. They are always the same. Ben,Todayisnew,rhynorator,zseano etc....Don't get me wrong but for me this is the hard reality,you can do it part time and have more fan but i believe if you choose to do it full time the frustration will be devastating.

On the other hand, there are plenty of bounties out there to be had for everyone. Not claiming to have had great success myself as of yet, but I would like to think that most people with the "Hacker mentality" and a real desire to learn about cyber security would be able to develop ther own individual path to be sucessful here, given enough time, effort, and practical experience..................In my mind, The question then becomes......How many actually take it that far? @@panagiotismitkas5526
