How does Bug Bounty work anyway?

I talk a lot about becoming a bug bounty hunter on my channel, in this new series we're going to go from knowing nothing about hacking to finding your first bug, to getting more consistent bounties and everything in between. While we're starting at the very basics I think you'll find this series has a lot to offer a hacker at any level! This series couldn't happen without the support of our sponsor Bugcrowd, Bugcrowd is the best place to start hacking with a wide range of public and private programs from APIs to Desktop Applications and everything in between. Not ready to jump into a public program yet? Fill out your platform CV and sign up for a waitlisted program. Tell Bugcrowd a bit about your skills, previous certifications or experience and they’ll match you up with the right program using their industry-leading CrowdMatch technology. Whatever your level, there’s a place for you in the crowd.
