Offers bug bounty opportunities and helps to earn extra money
In college, I started using HackerOne and taught my 10-20 juniors how to use it. I'm sure they might still be using it in their lives right now. The biggest challenge integrating HackerOne into my existing security protocols has been on my side, not the tool's. I need to take the time out to use and practice with it, but currently, I'm unable to give it the time I used to. There's no issue from the application side. To use the tool, you first need a basic knowledge of cybersecurity terms, like exploits and vulnerabilities, and how to identify them. Once familiar with these basics, you can learn more from the resources and platforms HackerOne provides. They offer tickets and guides to help you understand the methods for finding and exploiting vulnerabilities. Before deciding to use the solution in your organization, consider the purpose. HackerOne is a multi-platform. If the goal is to spread awareness about cybersecurity or to make the security team more active in learning about hacking methods and new vulnerabilities, then it can be very effective. It allows the team to earn extra money while learning and exploring new vulnerabilities in the market, potentially even finding zero-day vulnerabilities. I would rate HackerOne around an eight to nine out of ten. The application is simple to use, offering numerous opportunities and scopes for exploration. It covers many platforms, including web, Android, and iOS applications. However, the high traffic can sometimes be a drawback. If they manage this issue by implementing features like consolidation pricing for duplicate vulnerabilities, it could easily be a ten out of ten.

What needs improvement with HackerOne?
The ability to view the conversation between the triagers and the programs will be really good. When an issue gets reported, the understanding conveyed to the program by the triagers is not visible...
What is your primary use case for HackerOne?
I mainly use it for downtime activities, earning extra cash alongside a full-time job, and to get new sales and profits.
