Jaric discusses his involvement with Detectify Crowdsource, noting its unique approach of focusing on common issues rather than specific vulnerabilities and its distinctive payout model that rewards contributors each time their identified issue is detected by the platform's scanner. He emphasizes the accessibility of participation in Crowdsource, encouraging new researchers to submit vulnerabilities without fear and praising the supportive nature of the Detectify staff. Jaric also reflects on his personal submissions, mainly centered on misconfigurations, and expresses his aspiration to identify a prevalent Remote Code Execution vulnerability as an ideal contribution to the program.
