university gave me the public but it never gave me the skill. that's the line i keep coming back to from a podcast i did this week with @AnticsDecoded we started from $5 bounties in a school hostel. now i'm building sketchmason solo, the dfference wasn't talent. it was showing up for 7 days straight when nothing was working, then doing it again.

turned 21 today also shipping my first real SaaS SketchMason turns a rough hand-drawn sketch into a finished interface. - draw the layout. - get the design. - export the HTML. built it alone, bootstrapped, no team, no funding. you get 2 free generations, no card needed sketchmason.com pretty good way to start 21 :)

Almost every bug I report is on a code base audited by "top firms". Some were math issues in code written and reviewed by BigTech alumni with PhDs in cryptography from Stanford/Ivy-League. Everyone misses bugs. I miss too. AI misses bugs. Let's stop talking about finding bugs missed by lots of experts as something new and unheard of. It's so common I've been making a living off of it for 5 years straight. I'm not the only one.
Can we stop using terms like top security firms, top auditors, or top whitehats to indicate how difficult a exploit was after they missed it? > the vulnerability had evaded years of scrutiny by many of the world’s best cryptographers. lol

Huge win for my bug hunting buddy There are not many opportunities in web3 that could currently earn you $37,500 This guy did it by submitting one bug via @Zcash $1M bounty program Big congratulations 👏
Found a Medium-severity vulnerability in Zebra, @zcash's Rust full-node implementation, and reported it through the Zcash Bounty Program for a $37,500 bounty. Already patched and shipped in v4.5.0 — disclosure below. github.com/ZcashFoundation/z… @ZcashCommGrants Had some duplicates too. Feels good 😁

After almost five years, I'm no longer at @immunefi I built and led the Managed Triage Service from the ground up. Hired the team. Wrote the playbooks. Triaged thousands of vulnerability reports and helped mediate one of the largest payouts in the history of Web3 security, and plenty more behind closed doors. I'm proud of what we built and grateful to everyone I worked with. Now I'm looking for what's next. I'm looking for a leadership position in security. Joining an existing team, or building one from zero. Triage, bug bounties, Web3 security, or anything that helps secure a project or the wider org. I'm also open to consulting. Helping teams spin-up an internal security function, or advising on what a project actually needs, especially on the internal side. I know how to run triage that's operationally efficient and doesn't miss the false negatives that matter. If you're hiring or know someone who is, I'd like to hear from you. My DMs are open

New Zano desktop release is live: v2.1.17.469 🔒 This update introduces a soft limit on payment ID size in integrated addresses, capping them at 8 bytes as we prepare for Hard Fork 6. What this means: 🔹 Services with longer payment IDs can use a [legacy] prefix as a workaround 🔹 Helps us identify what needs updating before HF6 🔹 Most users won't notice any change Full release notes in the comments 👇

Zano blockchain TVL update📈 @zano_project currently has a TVL of ~$25M USD, which is quite solid for a $145M mcap project. @freedomdollar5 is the biggest contributor with their $10M in minted $fUSD and overcollateralized $ZANO reserves. Most interesting, we see steady growth in the assets bridged to Zano via @Bridgeless_com. Currently, 7+ $BTC, 23+ $ETH, 17+ $BCH, and 10+ $BNB have been bridged to Zano's ecosystem, turning them all into privacy-protected versions that live on our blockchain.🔒
