Summary

This researcher, Jared Perry, has a 100% acceptance rate on Bugcrowd, demonstrating his expertise in bug bounty hunting. He started his career in information security at university and began applying testing techniques using Burp Suite after receiving a license. Over the past two years, he has honed his skills by working with smart colleagues as a Security Consultant and attending security conferences to stay up-to-date with industry trends. Jared's approach emphasizes finding straightforward issues first, then focusing on more complex features, and he attributes his motivation to the challenge and potential for success in each hunt. As bug bounties continue to grow in popularity, Jared believes they will become increasingly widespread and competitive, potentially leading to higher payouts as companies vie for top bounty hunters.
