Dashboard #

After logging in, you land on the Dashboard. Four cards at the top summarise your Rewards, Points, Reports and Rank. Below them you will find:

  • Programs: a chart showing the number of active and bookmarked programs.
  • My reported vulnerabilities: your submitted reports.
  • Personal dashboard: a summary of your activity.
  • Uploaded documents and My transactions: your uploaded documents and payouts.

Programs #

All programs

Under Programs → All programs, you can see all bug bounty programs. Each row shows the ID, company, reward range (EUR), status (Active or Inactive) and category (for example, Web domain). Use the search and filters in the top-right corner.

Use the + icon to bookmark a program and the minus icon to remove the bookmark. You can only submit reports for bookmarked programs.

A program page

Select a program name to open its overview:

  • Description and launch date.
  • Testing policy: what is allowed and prohibited, including prohibited methods and tools.
  • Rewards: the maximum reward for each severity level (Low, Medium, High, Critical).
  • Statistics: the number of reports, payouts and hackers, and the days elapsed.
  • Scope: In-scope targets you may test and Out-of-scope targets you may not test.
Before you start

Always read the testing policy and scope. Do not test out-of-scope targets. We do not accept vulnerabilities found using automated scanners.

My programs

Under Programs → My programs, you can see your bookmarked programs, their visibility, report count and date. You can also use the Submit report button to send a report directly from this list.
