My understanding is that would violate the rules of the competition. Though of course if a competitor were to do that, odds are no one would find out.

- djrogers 12y agoWould someone willing to sell exploits on the black market really be concerned with "violating the rules of the competition"?
- rudolf0 12y agoWell, presumably they'd want to keep the money from the competition. That's definitely an incentive.
- MichaelGG 12y agoI would imagine it'd be fairly hard to the competition to know and revoke the money. Bad guys are almost certainly exploiting various undisclosed vulnerabilities. The bigger issue, I'd assume, is that by doing this competition, you've now killed that bug you previously sold. So long that was disclosed to the buyer though, I imagine you're all set.
