The Bugcrowd Ingenuity Awards 2025 celebrates exceptional talent in the hacking community by honoring individuals in categories such as Community Leader of the Year, with this year's award going to sw33tLie. His journey into community leadership was unplanned, evolving naturally from his desire to succeed as a hacker and contribute meaningfully. Notably, he developed and open-sourced bbscope, a tool for aggregating bug bounty scopes, which reflects his belief in the power of community collaboration. Sw33tLie emphasizes humility and empathy as crucial qualities for community leaders and advises aspiring leaders to focus on genuine contributions rather than titles. He values the balance between personal growth and community involvement, seeing shared knowledge as essential for advancing cybersecurity. Looking ahead, he is shifting towards large-scale research, including internet-wide studies and collaborations, which he finds more fulfilling than individual bug hunting.
