Cybersecurity spotlight on bug bounty researcher @ahacker1

GitHub, a platform with over 90 million developers, is committed to ensuring the security and trust of the code developed and used daily, which is why they have invested heavily in their Bug Bounty program since its inception in 2014. This program, which involves collaboration with external security researchers, has helped GitHub enhance the security of its products. This year, GitHub hosted a Live Hacking event and engaged with researchers at DEF CON 30 to share insights and gather feedback. In an interview, a researcher known as ahacker1 discussed their experiences and processes in identifying vulnerabilities, particularly focusing on improper access control vulnerabilities, and shared insights on trends and resources for those interested in bug bounty. GitHub continues to embrace collaboration with the security community, encouraging contributions to enhance the security of its products and services, and invites interested individuals to explore opportunities within the company.
