> Am curious if it is legal to fund security research to find flaws in a competitors product. It’s legal. I’ve been hired to do it before.

  Any restrictions at the time of disclosure?

    I’m not sure how you mean; in general, I was tasked with finding vulnerabilities that could be used for reverse engineering purposes and which woukdn’t be disclosed.

      Ah I meant the legality of funding efforts to find glaring bugs in competitors products and then releasing them publicly as a 0-day.
