Great. Let me know whatever you want to know. I may start new topics soon here related to Cybersecurity which everyone can follow. I am currently a bit under the weather, will start from next week. If you are interested in knowing about any topics, would be happy to help.

TBH - I was so drenched in the boredom and monotonous life, I enjoyed sharing information, whatever was on my mind, stuff like that plus, wanted to contribute/give back to the society before my time is up.

ehh, just been active since last week or so.

Welcome to TE!

That’s around the same time I started learning burp suite and it was oh so powerful. But the hunting for hours/days and failing was very demotivating and I stopped.

What was your biggest catch in all these years? And if you don’t mind what was the biggest payout?

Biggest catch was in Facebook’s own Whitehat program. I was able to escalate privilege of my testing account to a normal interactive account. Bounty was 10K $

I only did bug bounty for 1-2 years. Since, I had no coding background and those late hours were taking a toll over my body so did quit. Did some, Nokia, Google too. Used to get the grants and was even invited to their HQ.

You can master just 2 languages, java and JavaScript and can rule the tech world. In my experience literally every single website uses javascript and every company I’ve worked at, it seems java was always the most crucial programming language under the hood.

I agree but have transitioned myself from web side of of things. I do have some scripting experience. Javascript - a bit and Python && bash more so recently. I am currently in malware and reverse engineering, getting hands dirty with the low level assembly code etc.
