  • It offers various advantages, including career choice and the chance to earn large financial awards for ethical hacking.
  • It is extremely competitive, with only 10% of hunters earning the majority of bounties.
  • To stand out from the competition, you need to develop a different mindset and approach.
  • Elite hunters use automated tools but validate results manually and focus on high-impact, unique bugs.
  • They select less-tested targets and platforms, create custom pipelines, and hunt consistently.
  • They also write detailed reports and solve problems logically.
