DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Reflections on a Decade in Bug Bounties: Experiences
  and Major\n   Takeaways\n   When: Friday\, Aug 9\, 17:00 - 17:59 PDT\n   
 Where: LVCC West/Floor 2/W222-Creator Stage 4 - [1]Map\n\n   Description:\
 n\n   In this talk\, I will share my journey from a novice to a seasoned\n
    hunter. I will explore how I used to report low-impact\, informative\n 
   bugs when I first started\, and how I progressively improved by\n   lear
 ning from the community\, embracing failures/duplicates\, and\n   incorpor
 ating feedback from triage teams and clients. This journey of\n   continuo
 us learning and adaptation led me from reporting low\n   vulnerabilities t
 o effectively chaining and converting them into\n   critical impacts.\n\n 
   This session is designed for both aspiring and experienced bug bounty\n 
   hunters. By reflecting on a decade of lessons learned\, I will aim to\n 
   provide valuable takeaways that can help others navigate their own\n   p
 aths in bug bounty hunting and enhance their skills.\n\n   Additionally\, 
 one Synack triage team member will join me on this talk\n   to help differ
 entiate triage thinking from bug bounty hunters'\n   thinking\, providing 
 valuable insights into the collaborative process\n   of vulnerability repo
 rting to acceptance.\n\n   Speakers:Charles Waterhouse\,Nikhil "niks" Shri
