YesWeHack Hunter Interviews - #11 Pwnii: “Don't forget that a duplicate bug is a valid bug”

Like a scientist testing various hypotheses, an ethical hacker typically succeeds only after a lot of trial and error. Recognising this truth, Pwnii, a successful bug hunter on YesWeHack, advises newbie hackers to accept that failing to find bugs is very much the norm not the exception. Pwnii – aka pwnwithlove – is a thriving female hacker and CTF player in a world that retains a significant male majority. In this interview, she also discusses how she got into Bug Bounty, her proudest bug find to date, her preferred hacking tools, her plans for deepening her hacking skills and her long-term plans beyond Bug Bounty. Pwnii, who has steadily climbed the YesWeHack leaderboard since joining in 2022, recently launched a new video series called Talkie Pwnii, where she shares hacking tricks and tips, and offers solutions to YesWeHack’s Dojo CTF challenges: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw3wWiD5Fto&list=PLUQ6RJmuROc9qcNxcDh0ti3CfCwsg-F8k Join us on www.yeswehack.com 00:18 How did you become a Bug Bounty hunter? 00:57 What is your best bug discovery so far? 01:34 What are your favourite hacking tools? 02:09 Which three words best describe you as a Bug Bounty hunter? 02:17 Is there a particular aspect of hacking you want to get better at? 02:31 What is your plan over the next 10 years? 02:57 What is the most difficult aspect of Bug Bounty? 03:19 What are your top tips for newbie Bug Bounty hunters? #bugbounty #bugbountytips #bugbountyhunter #YesWeRHackers
