DESCRIPTION:I started my career as a penetration tester a few years ago and
  fell hard for web application hacking. It was all I wanted to do. I start
 ed seeing all of these tweets - “Yay\, I was awarded a $X\, XXX bounty o
 n @Hacker0x01!” It almost felt predestined\, like a sign I couldn't igno
 re\, and so I dived head-first into bug bounty hunting.\n\nThe start was n
 ot great. Of my first 30 submissions\, 28 were dismissed as Duplicate or N
 ot Applicable\, and I chose to engage in emotionally draining debates with
  triage staff and program owners. When that didn't get me anywhere\, I evo
 lved my approach. Across my next 50+ submissions\, fewer than five were cl
 osed as Duplicate or Not Applicable.\n\nMy breakthrough came from the quie
 t lessons that never make it into blogs or conference talks - the insights
  found in the space between failure and headline wins. I aim to shine a li
 ght on that middle ground\, walking through my accepted and rejected submi
 ssions so you can see the road I took around the wall of disappointing out
 comes.\n\nThis talk is for anyone who feels stuck in their bug bounty jour
 ney\, or wants a clear view of what breaking into bug bounty hunting reall
 y looks like. You’ll learn how dodging early missteps can avoid grief an
 d frustration for you\, the platform\, and the organisations you report bu
 gs to. You’ll walk away with a head start\, and techniques you can put t
 o work on your very next target.
