A quick start tutorial to help you collect your first bug bounty.

What it does

In order to test their security infrastructure, companies are increasingly turning to freelance security researchers to hunt for bugs - glitches in their systems with the potential to be exploited - and paying the ethical professionals who report them for removal.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
