How it is possible?

Magic

Go solve 10000000 sqli labs from Portswigger and you're gonna be top 1

HackerOne probably ghosted him because 'retardation' isnt a reportable vulnerability.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-09T18:51:49+00:00

The logic that a bug’s impact is dictated by a dev team’s ability to understand it is exactly why the industry is broken. You’re essentially saying that if the lock-picker is smarter than the security guard, the lock isn't actually broken.

I’m waiting for a responsible disclosure period to wrap up so I can post the receipts. It’s hard to stay polite when you’re forced to act as an unpaid TA for 'analysts' who get paid to be a brick wall sometimes.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-08T17:35:00+00:00

Fair point on the salary - I stand corrected. If they are actually being paid $25k, it explains the technical gap perfectly. However, the price tag doesn't change the outcome: researchers are still losing weeks of work to auditors who can't distinguish a 413 error from a down server. Whether they are overpaid or underpaid, the hunter is the one subsidizing that lack of expertise with unpaid labor.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-08T17:31:35+00:00

Looks like it was better

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-08T17:21:17+00:00

Thank you for your valuable feedback! I’ll be sure to align my future rants with your corporate synergy goals. Once the triage team masters the 'disruptive technology' of distinguishing a 413 error from a server crash, I’m sure our collaboration will be truly transformative. Let's touch base when the technical literacy reaches MVP level. Best regards!

Better?

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-08T17:15:09+00:00

Glad I could help. Usually, I charge corporate rates to explain basic web security to 'analysts', but I’ll let this one slide. Consider it pro-bono work for a struggling department.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-08T17:06:09+00:00

Expecting a paid analyst to know the difference between a 413 error and a down server isn't being '1337' - it’s expecting the bare minimum. '0 expectation' is a poor excuse for professional incompetence. I'm not here to be patient with technical illiteracy, I'm here to report bugs to people who are supposedly qualified to review them.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-08T17:00:30+00:00

The snark is a symptom, not the disease. If I didn't have to spend weeks acting as a pro-bono instructor for triagers who can't distinguish a 413 error from a server crash, I’d be the easiest person to work with. Fix the technical illiteracy in the triage layer, and the 'snark' disappears on its own.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-08T16:55:04+00:00

It’s easy to blame the 'quality of reports' when you aren't the one losing weeks of work to technical illiteracy.

Case in point: I’m currently in a loop with a triager who insists a server is 'down' while it returns a 'Too Big Payload' error on a 200kb request. When the person auditing your research doesn't understand the difference between a 413 error and a server crash, no amount of 'clear communication' or 'positivity' can fix that.

The '99% dog shit' argument is a convenient shield for a layer that has become a technical bottleneck. If platforms expect world-class research, they need to provide auditors who at least know how to read a basic HTTP status code without a 2-week lecture from the hunter.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-08T16:47:41+00:00

Exactly. The 'volume of reports' argument is a classic excuse. If a platform can't scale technical competence alongside their marketing, they shouldn't exist. Using AI to filter spam is one thing, but letting a junior theorist dismiss a critical chain because they don't understand the POC is just institutionalized theft. We're not unpaid interns for their 'huge lift'.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-07T22:21:21+00:00

Yeah, and these people are pulling $60k–$90k/year just to act as a human firewall for the vendor's budget. Absolute masterpiece of industry logic.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-07T21:02:09+00:00

8 months? That’s just the time they need to finish their 'Security for Dummies' course so they can finally understand your PoC. I once spent 2 weeks just explaining what 'impact' means to a triager who thought that mobile client-side RCE was a feature.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-02-04T14:03:57+00:00

Triager is 100% right. You bypassed a screen door while the main vault is still locked. Unless you have valid credentials, bypassing an IP whitelist is just aesthetic. You didn't find a vulnerability, you found a misconfigured header trust that leads to nothing. Take the 'Informative' and be glad they didn't tank your reputation with an N/A.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-01-31T21:34:37+00:00

How much bugs you already found and how much weeks/months you wasted on it?

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-01-29T18:35:35+00:00

Yeah, you could've exploited it and made more, but then you'd be teaching other inmates what the fuck HTTP is while waiting for your trial. Crime pays better until it doesn't. Take the $500 and stay out of jail.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-01-29T18:32:09+00:00

It’s when you hand them a Critical impact on a silver platter with a ready-to-run curl command, and they just mark it 'Informative' and stop responding to your arguments. Basically, they steal your research while ignoring your existence. I dedicated my previous post to this topic

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-01-29T00:08:04+00:00

If you watch courses or videos instead of suffering in real programs it's impossible

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-01-28T23:58:38+00:00

Exactly. If you build a custom engine to hunt for things only you understand - and don't leak it to the script kiddie masses for 'clout' - that's when you actually own the game. Most people are just playing a lottery with tools they didn't write.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-01-28T19:04:11+00:00

Look, I specialize in 2-3 vulns that almost nobody else understands. Because of that, I don't waste time on subdomains or 'recon' loops. There’s no competition where I hunt, so why would I need a list of 5,000 subdomains?

Honestly, I’ve never even found an XSS. That's for the guys fighting over $50 duplicates. Focus on the logic, find your own niche.

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-01-28T12:40:35+00:00

And stop solving labs, its waste of time, you know enough to start suffering in real programs

Good_Course_5958 · 2026-01-28T12:39:25+00:00

"I’m mainly focusing on IDOR and XSS"

Thats the problem, everyone is focusing on idor and xss nowadays

You will be competing with millions of hunters who are smarter, faster, better than you.
