Tell me a bit about yourself, what is your current position, what are your current responsibilities, what’s something interesting about yourself?
Hello, amazing hackers! My name is Wesley and I am 30 years of age (just like fine cheese, I get better with age). My alter ego is The XSS Rat which is also a legal entity and my company. Besides owning my own company I have a day job as a QA engineer and I am a certified expert in performance testing.
If you participate in bug bounty hunting, what does your typical day look like, and what’s an interesting or unique technique you like to employ when hunting?
When I get up in the morning on a weekend, I usually make time for my daughter so I don’t get to hunt as I used to for 8 hours a day. I usually hunt with clients to show them how I perform my bug bounties and I allow them to perform the hacking while I correct them and guide them on how I would do it. It usually starts with exploring my target, which is very important. I need to get a good feel of what is supposed to happen so I know when something happens that is not supposed to happen. I use things like user guides, documentation, and common sense…
