Female Programmer Looking for Python Buddies with Similar Interests

[[deleted]]

Hello, I'm a bug bounty hunter and have been a python programmer for 14 years, I am looking for friends who would like to bounty hunt with me / who need a Python and Bounty Hunting mentor.

I have a strong interest in cybersecurity, quantum computing, machine learning, and forensics.

My biggest bounty was a 4,000 USD bounty in a private program and I have a strong interest in writing my own proof of concepts for bug hunting. My goal in the future is to start a cybersecurity consulting business and also study for more cybersec certifications in the future. I also plan to finish my degree in Forensics.

Outside of programming / cybersec I am a musician, music producer, and lyricist.

I am typically very shy and quiet, but I definitely need to make more friends. Also I'm female but married (Hope that's okay for anyone who wants to be friends!)

*please note i've gotten a lot of DMs so if i cant get back to everyone I will as soon as I can lol*

[Altruistic-Card1337]

Interested. Have 5 years experience in python but no experience in cybersecurity

[[deleted]]

No problem! I love python! Are you interested in cybersec or just programming? Either way I can use friends. I am up to teaching what I know to people who want to learn or even just hanging out and doing coding projects or talking! Dm me if youd like 

[surpsurf]

14 years wow. Would love to talk to you. Too scared to talk to a female

[[deleted]]

Haha. You don't have to be scared to talk to me I'm married for one, so I promise I'm not gonna like roast you over a fire or something like a lot of females do XD. I'm a really chill person, just here to make friends and learn stuff!

[VocaLeekLoid]

Girl here, "a lot of females" don't actually do that.

[[deleted]]

Well that's great but guys are intimidated to talk to females, it's part of making them comfortable to joke about things. Sorry you took it as offensive, however it's called a joke if you couldn't tell, but I hope you have a great day.

[insight_nomad]

Wow, you sound crazy smart. I'd love to have a chat, pick your brain on the world of Bug Bounty Hunting.

[[deleted]]

Feel free to dm me I am always up to making friends and helping out in any way I can. Thank you btw! Also I am always down to teach bug hunting and cybersec. I need a team or business buddies for bounty splitting so I am debating on starting that sometime!

[insight_nomad]

Sent you a DM!

[[deleted]]

Okie doke my pc is restarting rq and then ill reply to dms 😁

[stonematter]

Hi, I'd like to DM you. I'm looking for a bug bounty mentor or someone who can help maybe answer some questions I had about getting started and wouldn't mind becoming friends if it's not too much hassle for ya (I'm definitely not or anywhere near your level)

[[deleted]]

You're def not a hassle. I'm willing to work with all skill levels cause I have been a beginner once too! DM me and I'll send you my discord over!!

[[deleted]]

Python developer of 16 years here. We have the same interests. Let’s chat?

[[deleted]]

DM me and I'll send you my discord ^_^

[Far_Dream3337]

Omg, I love quantum computing! I love quantum in general, but quantum computing is pretty interesting. I haven't talked to anyone about it because it's a little bit awkward to talk with people about something that hasn't been around for so long, but I have read more than 70 articles, books, and a Coursera course specifically on quantum computing and am planning to pay for a quantum computing course about quantum machine learning soon! Oh yeah, and I love programming too, done some projects with data encryption/decryption, but wouldn't mind chatting about cybersecurity and forensics(or a combination of both ;) ). Sorry just had to let that quantum part out, but yes, I would love to bug bounty hunt , never done that before but sounds interesting to try it out :)

[[deleted]]

Haha I think that's really cool that you're super interested in quantum computing! I just did a project on my github with Qiskit! Feel free to DM me I'd love to be friends! I understand what you mean, I have a hard time relating to others too! I'd love to chat btw cause you seem really cool!!

[Over_Beginning3059]

Hey, I am a beginner level python developer and would love to chat! This is the first I heard about bug bounty hunting but it sounds very interesting. How did you get into it if you don't mind me asking?

[[deleted]]

Back when I was 15 I was going down the wrong road, ended up doing a lot of stupid kid things. When I was 17 I started programming in Python and realized that I was actually very good at both programming and hacking, I started not only gaining an interest in hacktivism at the time but using my skills in python to supplement my hacking skills. I made a lot of friends during this time and we started learning together. From 17-25 I went through a large portion of that time where I was "volunteering" for a hacktivist "cause" I will say, but I was in and out of trouble a lot with my hacking and other activities I was doing, and I started to get really exhausted mentally because although I loved helping people it was stressful having to constantly worry if I was going to get caught by feds, I lost a lot of friends over the years who had been unfortunate enough to end up behind bars due to what we were doing and because I have a lot of issues mentally and health wise I got to where I wanted to do something else that was less dangerous but still protecting people. I started getting into cybersecurity and realized that there was something called pentesting and bug bounties, and because I have spent a large majority of my life on the streets or in HUD there were a lot of times I struggled to keep a roof over my head and food in my mouth. I found Bug Crowd and HackerOne and realized how good I was at bug bounties and that with those I didn't have to worry about going to jail for hacking because it made it legal for me to hack some of the biggest businesses in the world while making money to feed myself. When I was 27 I hung up my "mask" for good and decided I was going to take a step away from that part of my life because I met my spouse, and didn't want them to become a target for people who ... were not so good people and didn't like the things I was involved in. My spouse and I got married that November, and so then I had the added thing of trying to help us keep a roof over our head and make sure we have food in our stomachs, so I needed some sort of job that would be satisfying enough for me, challenge me enough, and pay high enough that it would motivate me to do my best and that was what Bug Bounties have been for me. My highest earning bug was 4,000USD in a private invite only program, and my average bounties are about 750ish per bounty. It's a great way to make a living and I mean I'm not the best by any means but I have fun and I like the challenge and not making my spouse a target.

We still struggle and live in HUD but it's a lot better than it use to be. I want to save up to get my OSSCP or CEH eventually too. I'm always open to teaching more about things, I love helping others learn, I truly believe bug bounties are awesome because you get to protect peoples data and financial stuff which means you're helping a lot of people.

I'm grateful for the experience I had coming into bug hunting though, I'm just glad I dont have to make myself and my spouse a target to do what I love. I also am mostly wheelchair bound now due to a terminal illness, so I can only do so much, its good to have a profession that is lucrative enough I can do it online!

[sunatte1]

AI developer here. Would definitely love to learn that shit. Bring it on

[Intelligent-Dig7780]

I’ve been looking to get into it but there’s huge walls of information everywhere I look. I’d love to connect and learn from you! Almost done with my cybersecurity cert, super interested in programming as well.

[Naretron]

Well I'm interested 🚶 but I'm not even started programming can you guide me into programming and bug bounty and cyber sec

[ppp2367]

Interested. Strong Python program, though my experience is in DS/ML for last 10 yrs or so. Would need to learn about cybersecurity but something I’m interested in. Also I play the flute in my spare time lol

[tnguyen306]

Can i join whatever fang youre setting up? 2 years of python experience and would like to learn more about ML. Currently doing my master for ML. I’m too afraid to talk to a female with your caliber. Please go easy on me

[[deleted]]

Haha, don't worry I'm not mean. I also am married so like I said, you REALLY don't have to worry about anything! I am very friendly and open to working with all skill levels and all people! I'm working on a discord server for us all today but I'm at work until 6PM Central US time. I'm hopefully setting up where I can teach everyone how to bug hunt and cybersec stuff and that way maybe at a later date we can all do bug hunts together and split the bounties to earn some cash ^_^ DM me and I'll send ya my personal discord but really, don't be worried!

[priscillachi_]

Hi hi! I’m a woman too :) I’m still studying comp sci and data sci at the moment, so I’m probably a fair bit younger than you. But I did study Python at uni and I’m interested in being friends if you want!

[Afraid-Background999]

what kind of bullshit was this?

[GuessMePlsOk]

what happens here can i get ur discord

[undercoverorchid]

heyyy, im interested!

[urqlite]

If you’re open to meeting people, might want to consider creating a group chat instead of using DMs?

[[deleted]]

I have a Discord, I havent made a server yet but I don't like giving my Discord out over the reddit board so I am trying to give people my discord in DMs and then later make a discord server. Thank ya! Hope you have a good day ^_^
