H4K Workshop- Web Hacking Exposed: Bounty Hunter

~# Web Hacking Exposed: Bounty Hunter Edition

~## Synopsis

Ever wonder what Boba Fett and professional ethical hackers have in common? Both are bounty hunters! That’s right; ethical hackers can be bounty hunters too! Companies with websites hire ethical hackers to test for vulnerabilities. This method is called “crowdsourcing” where there are rewards out for finding bugs on their own web applications.

When the researchers (aka ethical hacker) attack the web application find a genuine bug before anyone else, they get paid a bounty! Just like Boba Fett when he brought Han Solo to Jabba the Hut. How cool is that? During this workshop no one will be frozen in carbonite.

In this workshop, Discover Financial Services penetration ("pen") tester Mark Kikta will introduce you to the realm of web application security and how it all works. Tyros will learn about a brief history of bug bounties, an overview of markup languages that rules the web, common mistakes web developers make, and exercises how to demonstrate the mistakes.
