Luke Stephens (aka Hakluke) has been a Pentester, Bug Bounty Hunter, and he recently worked at Bugcrowd before striking out on his own. In this episode, I ask him about his role at Bugcrowd (a bug bounty platform), how he got started in bug bounty hunting, and how he found his first bug. Coming from a pentesting background, he initially struggled to transition to a bug bounty hunting mindset. He shares what helped him break through that initial struggle, how he balances automation vs manual hunting, and his process to determine how long to spend on a specific target. If you’re interested in bug bounty hunting, this is absolutely an episode you should listen to.
