Bug bounty programs are getting more and more traction. Some see them as a cheap way to get a lot of pen-tests for free, and some see them as the creation of a global market for security testing. Mazin Ahmed will take a close look at existing bug bounty programs and explain some of the merits of the bounty hunting community sites. He will also take the perspective of the Companies attempting to set up a bug bounty program and highlight widespread misconceptions and why they are wrong. Spice this up with demonstrations of bugs he discovered recently and stories from the adventurous life of a whitehat hacker living in Khartoum, Sudan.
