Practical guidance

  • Read Hacktivity (hackerone.com/hacktivity) daily - disclosed reports are the best free methodology source.
  • Keep Signal high: low-quality/dupe reports hurt your invite chances more than no reports.
  • Filter the directory by 'new programs' - fresh scope has the least-picked-over bugs.
