The absolute bug & ai bounty goats.
Real advice from real hackers. Every show links super sick articles and has either an interview or a unique concept to talk about, such as maximizing collaborations or doing well at live hacking events.
The depth of knowledge about client-side security bugs is mind boggling to me. Much of the information in this podcast on client side concepts is very hard to find.
One of the shows hosts is very much Christian and isn’t afraid to show it. Gotta love that ✝️❤️
The podcast and the community gave me a kind of plausibility structure, a mental model, where I could genuinely see myself being successful. And once I had that, I started consistently investing time. And it paid off.
I listen to this podcast every single day. You will absolutely not find a single podcast matching the quality here. From the seasoned veterans that share cutting edge research on the pod, to the hosts that are absolute legends in the industry, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be tuned in and listening if you consider yourself involved in web app security. Thanks to everyone who makes Critical Thinking happen, you are truly making history with this pod. Thank you so much.
