Summary

Here is a summary of Sam Curry, a researcher ambassador in the bug bounty community: Sam Curry is a rising star in the bug bounty community from Omaha, Nebraska. He has been involved in bug bounties for five years and enjoys hacking websites. As a Researcher Ambassador, he will help teach his local hacker community about hacking and bug bounty hunting. Sam uses tools like Burp, Sublist3r, and dirsearch to find vulnerabilities. He recently found a Path Traversal bug on a JavaScript Node application that gave him full access to the application. To manage his time effectively, Sam schedules his day with morning sessions and late-night research. His advice for beginners is to enjoy the process, figure out how things work, and not stress about finding bugs. Sam also recommends following people in the community, reading blog posts, and participating in online forums like /r/netsec on Reddit.
