I remember seeing a documentary on this guy. He just runs through bug bounties like they're nothing

[@myname-mz3lo]

bug bounties are for students to get experience . experienced hackers usually get a job in a red team where its harder. experienced hackers that do bugbounty are hated by the community because they are just picking low hanging fruit instead of leaving it for students and juniors to practice on . most master hackers dont do bug bounty anymore .

[@esmael.c2b]

@@myname-mz3lo but I don't wanna do red teaming for a company, I don't wanna sell my freedom for a company just because they pay well, I'll only work for a company as an independent contractor.

[@transforgoku]

@@myname-mz3lo Red teamers and pentesters usually don't make more than 150k a year, Tommy on the other hand made 160k in a single day, to me if you make more money than a professional pentester on bug bounties then it's not worth it, doesn't matter if you are the ultimate master hacker being underpayed and a wage slave...

[@itsme7570]

@@myname-mz3lo there's a big difference in red teaming and bug bounty. Bug bounty your scope is limited to a single web app or mobile app most of the time and your goal is to find bugs in that application but with red teaming you're using and endless list of different ways to gain physical access to a building or whatever during day or night, using social engineering or cloning access cards or they'll do internal pentest where they hire a hacker to pretend to be an employee and see if they could be compromised by an employee that wished to do the company harm

The punishment for these crimes has to change. Imagine how helpful to national security this could be? Have them work for the government as a part of their probation. Putting these smart kids in prison or not allowing them to use a computer is a waste of national resources. He couldn't go to school because he couldn't use a computer. This is upsetting. This kid and many others would be of great help to win the cyber war against our enemies. Uncle Sam, please stop punishing kids the wrong way. Put them to work instead of punishing them from doing what they love to do. Also, pay them well.

A little note about Tommy's dad wanting his son to get a real job, dads are just like that. Deep inside, he's proud.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

Well, his dad wants him to do a 9-5 to be a wage slave like him, but not everyone wants to be a loser in the rigged economy game. The so-called Federal Reserve bank is the biggest cancer of them all with fractional reserve banking.

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

:3 You just have to balance dopamine levels, to avoid boredom. Lol. I love the fact to avoid people and horrendous traffic, by working at home. Lol.

[@dannybuntu]

@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked Yeah, but on another note, it's not about being a wage slave as you term it - old school folk, at least some of them, believe in unwritten philosophy of "dignity in work" If Dawgy can read this, hear me out: Sell the skyline (or not) Put up a cybersecurity or IT school, rent or put up an office or startup, wear a tie, give dad a job as security guard. So you working 9 to 5, dad gets to see you in a tie before he passes, earns his keep, you get to play big boss man. three birds one stone. Who knows maybe it can even 10x.

What I don't understand is how the government would rather prosecute a guy who is hacking at 12 because he is bored, than take that guy send him to a high end computer school and make him work for the military for 6 years after he graduates/ turns 18? Seems like a much better use of people with ability, rather than sending them to prison to waste their lives away. Especially for " computer crimes" that aren't really crimes.

Great Episode... I use to hack Honda motorbikes, 440 four sport and the 550 four without a key or tool. If I saw one parked up, I used to start it up and leave it idling, waiting for the guy that owned it. Watching his face was a picture as he scratched his head thinking.. "What the Fuck"!!" Yeah, nicking bikes was an addiction for me and I ended up doing 2 spells in jail, so I can relate to DAWGYG. Again, great Episode as usual . P.S I did go to the owner and tell him what the flaw in me actually starting his bike was. A fuse lol

Sometimes it's best to just let them tell it lol, I get maybe you are trying to get to a target time limit or something but this kills it for me.

It is always shocking every time I listen to an American story where Americans have normalized police or FBI agents barging into houses fully armed. This was a hacker who did not have a criminal record indicating he was physically dangerous, and yet it seems like every felon in the United States is met with a gun in the face regardless of their circumstances. I live in Canada, which isn't much better, but when I lived in a Scandinavian country I saw good policing coupled with a good justice system. Americans truly believe the threat of prison will reform a person and yet stories like this clearly prove that is not the case. The Scandinavian country I lived in had a recidivism rate of 20% and it wasn't because of prison or the threat of prison; they actually helped people be better people.

The restriction on any computer access seems archaic nowadays. Like, almost everything is connected to the internet now or has some form of a computer associated with its design. This punishment practice has to be revisited since it would honestly hinder a person's ability to be reintegrated back into society.
