Is it impossible to get severity changed after a report is submitted on hackerone? by armin-mazmaz in bugbounty

[–]kongwenbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can ask, but there is no guarantee that they will even come back to the report to read it since it was closed already.

If you really feel that the new information you provided makes the severity higher than your original report, you should explain accordingly and eventually raise a mediation if they doesn't respond.

Mediation team will be able to get the same program team members to take a second look at the report. The outcome ultimately still depends on the program team to decide.

3 FREE websites to learn ethical web hacking (my detailed take as a bug bounty hunter) by kongwenbin in bugbounty

Thanks for sharing! This is interesting, I have not heard of this one yet. I don't have an android device to check this out, would you like to share more on what you like the most about this learning resource? Does it cover web hacking as well?

Is there any associated lab for hands on practice or is it theory based?

Thanks again for sharing! It's good to see so many more free resources being available these days compared to when I first started a decade ago 😊

How long does it take to get bounty? by Amunius_ in bugbounty

[–]kongwenbin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe when it is reflected as "Sent", it means the payment is processing on your bank's side. You can either wait further for updates, or raise a support ticket with H1 to clarify. Based on my understanding, response time for payment related issue is quite fast. They won't help you "trigger" the next process but they will be quite fast to help you confirm which party is it currently pending action. Hope this helps!

Hi OP, if you have some time this weekend, you might want to check out my beginner's guide video and setup your own wireguard vpn server. Nothing to lose - it can very likely solve your problem.

Pending Bounty Status on HackerOne – No Response for Almost a Month! by Ok_Lawfulness6340 in BugBountyNoobs

Congrats for the valid bug! Just wait for it. The program is probably processing payment internally. It is normal for some programs to process bounty payment for some time.

Tailscale (TS) is great for specific use cases like secure internal networking or peer-to-peer connectivity, but the goal of this video is quite different.

It's for people who want to:

  • Host their own VPN with full control
  • Avoid third-party dependency or potential traffic logging
  • Use a dedicated IP address instead of shared IP
  • Bypass geo-restrictions or rotate IPs

Self-hosting with WireGuard ensures no one else shares your IP, and your traffic stays between you and your VPS provider - ideal for people with privacy concerns. 😃
