Bug Bounty Simulation - Hack to Win Prizes!

The bug bounty workshop is a fully-featured bug bounty simulation - participants of BSides Canberra can help find bugs for a mock network designed by people who have participated in bug bounties for way too long.

This workshop aims to provide those with basic application security skills with the ability to understand how to seek bugs on a network that looks just like one owned by a legitimate company.

The bugs on this network will closely align to trends that we have seen in bug bounties, and some trickier bugs that we have found for other companies that should act as fun challenges for the daring.

There will be around 20-30 challenges, most of them will be oriented towards application and network security - similar to almost any other bug bounty one would participate in.

There will be LOTS of prizes! Prizes will be awarded to almost everyone who submits a valid bug, and there will be special prizes reserved for to the top 3 bug bounty hunters on the day.

This workshop is essentially one big CTF where you get prizes for solving problems. We want participants to feel the rush of being able to solve a problem, receive acknowledgement for solving the problem and finally also receive an award of some sort for solving it.

Check back here or in the handbook for more details closer to the day.
