Giving Yourself the Best Opportunity to Find a Bug

I get asked a lot how do you choose a target you can actually find bugs on and get bounties, so I've compiled a lot of my tips for choosing a target and how to use bugcrowd features (like joinable programs) to make it so you aren't reliant on the right program coming through on luck. So here's how to choose a target on Bugcrowd and some general advice on some of the things I look for in a good program.

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. You can sign up with my link here: https://bugcrowd.com/user/sign_up.
