It's been five months since Darkarnium joined Bugcrowd, and he has already impressed researchers with his 100% acceptance rate and average priority of 1.5. Darkarnium is known for submitting high-priority bugs that have a significant impact on the applications he tests. He got started in security research by tinkering with embedded devices and web applications, and later began participating in bug bounty programs after discovering them. Darkarnium focuses on hardware vulnerabilities but also enjoys testing software applications. His motivation to continue his work comes from the thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of turning a seemingly innocuous vulnerability into something more drastic. He offers advice to other bounty hunters to research companies' tools, use public mailing lists, and get enough sleep. Darkarnium believes that the future of bug bounties is positive, with more organizations participating in programs, but he hopes to see more "wildcard" scoped programs that test applications beyond just their primary web interfaces.
