Ask HN: Hacking each others Apps / Websites?
Inspired by Google's Vulnerability Reward Program, I have been getting more and more interested in security and ensuring that my applications aren't open to attack.
I have a feeling that there are a lot of easy wins that many new websites, applications and startups forget about in the rush to launch..
I thought it would be fun to have a group of trusted people that get together (probably virtually on skype?) and try and poke holes in each others applications to find CSRF / CS Scripting / SQL Injection and other common vulnerabilities for the benefit of all.
I am just putting this out there to gauge the interest before organising anything...
- entrepreneurial 16y agoGreat Post. I was just asking a friend a couple weeks back if he could hack my new startup website.
- zoomzoom 16y agoIt is a great idea - probably a startup in here somewhere where you pay a bounty to get your site "crowdhacked" and thus improve your security.
