    Episode 69: Johan Carlsson - 3 Month Check-in on Full-time Bug Bounty.

    Episode 69: In this episode of Critical Thinking - Bug Bounty Podcast we’re joined by Johan Carlsson to hear about some updates on his bug hunting journey. We deep-dive a CSP bypass he found in GitHub, a critical he found in GitLab's pipeline, and also talk through his approach to using script gadgets and adapting to highly CSP'd environments. Then we talk about his transition to full-time bug hunting, including the goals he’s set, the successes and challenges, and his current focus on specific bug types like ReDoS and OAuth, and the serendipitous nature of bug hunting.

Awesome Podcast!

As a beginner wanting to learn about bug bounty, I really enjoyed this podcast. They dive deep into a variety of topics, talk with other experts, and are very well informed themselves. Definitely give it a listen, it’s worth your time!

Amazing Content!

I just found this podcast. I am a new bug bounty hunter.

In the morning, I’m a culinary chef, by night I’m a bug bounty hunter. I listen to this (just started 2 days ago) while I’m at work to get my hyped up and excited about after work.

Knowing these 2 guys literally pays their bills with bug bounties gives me hope I can too!

Thank you for the encouragement and the new tools you guys speak of! The methods are worth their weight in gold, and eager to start learning & doing more!
